Here are some observations (and some files to look at).

First, the files:

You will find these files at ftp://ftp.blinn.com/thebat/. I think
there is a low limit on how many anon ftp users can be connected
simultaneously.

       * Ray4x6.tif: Single standard TIFF that somehow
         became a 2-page TIFF with non-standard colors.
       * scampi_test.jpg  - successful
         scampi_test9.jpg - unsuccessful
       * progress_test.jpg  - successful
         progress_test9.jpg - unsuccessful
       * Inbox.zip - See below for explanation
         of what is there.

Now the observations:

I created a test file with 4 attachments and sent this message to
another of my accounts 9 times. The account I sent the messages to was
set to store attachments in a separate directory. Here are the
results:

   IMG#1  IMG#2  IMG#3  IMG#4
1  FAIL   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
2  FAIL   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
3  FAIL   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
4  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
5  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
6  GOOD   GOOD   FAIL   GOOD
7  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
8  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
9  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD

I then deleted the received messages, emptied the trash, compressed
the folders, set the account to store attachments internally, and sent
the messages again. Results:

   IMG#1  IMG#2  IMG#3  IMG#4
1  GOOD   GOOD   ****   FAIL
2  GOOD   GOOD   FAIL   GOOD
3  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
4  GOOD   GOOD   GOOD   GOOD
5  GOOD   GOOD   FAIL   GOOD
6  GOOD   GOOD   FAIL   GOOD
7  GOOD   GOOD   FAIL   FAIL
8  GOOD   GOOD   FAIL   FAIL
9  GOOD   GOOD   ****   FAIL

**** This image failed in a way I've never seen before. The icon in
TB's attachments panel simply shows "base64" -- no file name at all.

I have zipped the 2 inbox files and included them on the ftp site.
