I browse my e-mails in the main mail window. If there's an e-mail with an
attachment, then in the message list, the e-mail is marked to have attachments,
but in the attachment box of the mail preview, the attachments are not listed.
However, if I double click the message an the mail pops up in a separate window,
then the attachments are listed as they should.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself an e-mail with an attachment
2 [review]. preview it in the main mail window
3. 

Actual Results:  
no attachments are listed in the attachments box

Expected Results:  
display all attachments.

Uuups. after restarting Mozilla, it works fine again - so I can't reproduce it
every time.

I have the exact same problem w. Mozilla1.2.x under Linux. And I can reproduce
it every time... If the message is double-clicked the attachments show. If the
attachments list is long enough (e.g. the lkml digest in mime) s.t. there is a
scrollbar,moving the scrollbar up and down show the attachments of the message
without opening it in a separate window. 
I used the RedHat_7x i386-RPMS of Mozilla1.2.1

I see the same behavior in 1.2.1 under Win98, and I also can not reproduce it
reliably.  I'm thinking that a longer list of attachments might make it more
likely to occur.  I'll be doing more investigating to try and reproduce.  BTW,
I'm on an IMAP server.
