Actually, whatever is doing it simply sequesters almost anything,
including perfectly innocuous graphics. The difficulty is that the
mail client still displays most of the sequestered attachments, but
for some reason if it can't figure out one attachment, it doesn't
display any of them.

That means I've got to save the entire mail and use a command line
tool to break it into pieces. Python's mail tools do a reasonable
(not excellent) job of this, so nothing is lost, but it's more work
than I usually want to go through for newsgroup messages.
