Just a wild guess that might help find the cause of that behaviour: What
mime type does the original mail use?

Some mailers -- even prominent ones -- use "multipart/alternative",
which means "show one of the attachments, whichever is easiest to
display" when they should use for example "multipart/mixed", meaning
"unrelated attachments". In that case, the behaviour you describe would
be completely correct. Except that the sender did not intend what
his/her mailer did to the message...

Resending might change the mime type to the correct one. It did so in
one case a collegue of mine stumbled upon.

Best regards,

Susan Dittmar
