Just out of curiosity I did a little test of my own.

- In Forte Agent I saved the offending message in Unix Mailbox format.
The relevant parts of this message are these: 

Header:

|MIME-Version: 1.0
|Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
|Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Body:

|begin 644 thebat_error_20110430.gif

|`
|end
|

This means the .gif file is part of the message BODY and is NOT an
attachment.

- I started the latest Alfa/Beta/Release/Whatever version of TB!
(5.0.12.1) and imported the message (Tools -> Import Messages -> From
Unix-mailboxes.)

It displays fine but now the message looks like this:

Header:

|MIME-Version: 1.0
|Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------E013D5220A8938" 

Body:

|------------E013D5220A8938

This means the .gif file now is an attachment.

For clarity: this also means TB! is not just simply importing messages
but modifies them while importing. I am not quite sure if it should be
allowed to do that.

Another strange thing happened when I saved the message from TB! in
Unix Mailbox format. There are two methods:
1) File -> Save as...
2) Tools -> Export message to -> Unix mailbox

Both methods save a file with extension .mbox, even if I try to
override it by putting an extension like .txt at the end of the name.
What's also weird is that I cannot change the name of the file while
TB! is still active. I have to close TB! in order to rename the file.
It looks like, one way or another, TB! keeps the saved file in memory
instead of "releasing" it, like it should do (imho, of course...)
