By the way, the Attachments column in the list shows both attached

scanning for e-mails with attachments it's just noise to see those
listed with the paper clip icon.
It's unfortunately not easy to distinguish between attachments and
logo-attachments. In theory it should be, but in practice it isn't.
(I'm not saying it couldn't be improved though.)
I hate to disagree with you, but in theory it is actually impossible
without perfect semantic analysis of all languages to determine why an
image is embedded in a particular location and visual analysis to
determine its content value.
It's not that I doubt your capacity to attack that problem, but it would
eat a lot of effort. I hope you'll be satisfied with "better" and not
chase perfection in analyzing mail that is fundamentally evil anyway.
