Sounds like something happening with loading attachments on demand. Displaying 
the image when it is loaded is probably the right thing to do, and viewing the 
source triggers the loading. I _think_ that loading a mail part also retrieves 
the name again.
You're using online IMAP, right? This might actually be server specific, but 
send me the mail anyway so I can test. Please forward the mail as attachment, 
this way I can save it without modifing.
