I was trying to read an email message that had an inline message of 54K. I got a
message saying that message would be downloaded on demand. I increased the
mail.imap.max_chunk_size to 60000 and tried again. I was able to see the mail
message. I thought this resource should only effect attachements, and not in
line documents.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.




I can forwared the email that triggered this if it would be helpful.

max_chunk_size has no effect on whether we download attachments inline or not.

mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand_threshold determines what the threshhold is, in
bytes (default is 15K) for the total message size before we'll fetch parts on
demand. However, we always fetch inline parts. Are you sure the attachment
actually had content disposition inline? You can tell by looking at the message
source.
