I have experienced exactly the same behaviour (using Seamonkey older
than 2.2 : e.g., 2.0.14) ever since my IMAP provider performed an
exchange upgrade to Exchange 2010; prior to that (running, I think,
Exchange 2003) there had been no problems. I have reported the
problem to the server administration team, but as (a) mine is a
"grade and favour" account, and (b) IMAP is not a formal part of
their offering, I do not expect the problem to be resolved in the
near future. For what it's worth, moving the offending message
to an otherwise empty folder can sometimes allow it to be seen
and/or the attachment accessed.
Thanx Philip,
We did indeed go with Exchange 2011 I think. I tried moving to a new
folder and it hung on "downloading e-mail" but no help.
I do like a few things, the biggest is my phone and computer are now in
sync with no tricks and filters. I also like that the exchange server
translates those pesky winmail.dat files back to attachments for me.
But the number of small issues that were not there when I had a Linux
POPed server are really annoying.
I guess I might have to try seppuku ;-)

Wouldn't seppuku be a less painful option ?
