The JPEG marker segment being too short (in your case) usually means the
download did not complete and the file is no good.  Trash it.

PM adds the .1.jpg or .2.jpg suffix when there is already an attachment
by that same NAME in the attachment folder.  (I love this feature).  I
get a ton of files named image, image.1.jpg, image.2.jpg.....etc.

I don't know what the .b64 mail is.
