How do you know "attachments are disappearing"?

There is a known issue where the attachment *icon* will disappear from certain messages once they are opened; this is because the icon is originally shown due to a simple examination of the message headers, but once the message is fully loaded it turns out there really isn't an attachment at all (that is, the additional part of the message is either a vCard, which we don't show as an attachment, or an image that's embedded within the HTML body of the message).

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
