There is an issue with the way Pegasus handles digests. It chokes on
certain (possibly malformed?) multipart/mixed - multipart/alternative
messages in the digest. Any message coming after such a "malformed"
message will not show up in the list view - and will be inaccessible -
but will add to the size listed for this message. Gunter's message was
such a "malformed" message.
In this case, the message with the huge attachment was the *next* message
in the digest. You can see it (plus another two "hidden" messages) in
"raw" view.

Gunter's attachment has obviously been stripped... FWIW, I would not have
been surprised if it were a nice 3MB *.bmp screenshot...
