Mark, thank you very much for your help, which got me on the right track. Indeed, the problem is that iPad photos, even when they are taken with a portrait orientation, always carry Exif data that claim a landcape orientation. Web browsers and many mail clients orient pictures according to the Exif information. So, to make a long story short, if I remove the incorrect Exif orientation-info from those pictures before sending them to Mailman, they display correctly after scrubbing.
Thanks again, -malgosia

When scrubbing an image attachment such as a jpeg, Mailman seems to always orient it into landscape mode - irrespective of the orientation of the original. Is there some way to prevent this?
Whatever is doing what you observe, it's not Mailman. It may be the web browser that opens the link to the scrubbed attachment or something else, but Mailman makes no changes whatsoever to the content of the attachment. Mailman just decodes the (presumably base64 encoded) content and saves it in a file and provides a URL to access the file.
