This is a continuation of an old problem
On Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:38:29  in an Article titled
Displaying UUencoded jpg attachments in newsarticles ??

in the newsgroup mozilla.support.seamonkey
I wrote:

 I have view attachments in line checked.
 I retrieve a news article which has a UUencoded .jpg attached
 Instead of a picture I get the little broken picture icon.
 If I File the article to a folder in Local_Folders and then click on
the article  in the Local_Folder it opens AND DISPLAYS the picture
in-line just fine!

 What options or settings or code do I have to correct,
? so that the .jpg  attachments will display directly
  without needing to go through  all the folderoll?

I have no (never had) problem view uuencoded pictures inline using
SeaMonkey (Mozilla Mail).  You may check a test post I've just made
over in the mozilla.test.multimedia group: "Uuencode test".  It might
be the attachment is bigger and you need to wait for it more to load
and appear.  The text part usually appears immediately.
--------------------

I retrieved his posting from the test group and indeed it displayed
just fine!

At that time I was using SM 1.0.7 and thought that perhaps whatever
Had been fixed since.

HOWEVER
I am now using SM 1.1.14 and I am still having problems!

Here are some more details about the problem(s)

1) System is Win98se with  SM 1.1.14 and Outlook Express 6
(6.00.2800.1123)
2) The problem seems to only affect articles and pictures
 from before approximately July 2007.
4) NOTE When I retrieve the article using OE, the pictures display
 just  fine
5) With SM:
 5.1) When I retrieve such articles, I now get a little icon
  with a red dot (not period) , rather than a broken picture icon.
 5.2) When I display the message source (CTRL-U),
 I can see the UUencoded text for the jpg.
 5.3) When I click on the little icon and try to show the picture,
  then I get a blank browser screen
 5.4) When I try to open from the little icon in the attachments box
  I mostly get an error message saying that the message is unavailable
  'perhaps expired'

For Dennis and whose ever retention is that long, here are examples:
