I have SM set to view the message body as plain text. But it does not

that there are attachments without trying any further interpretation.

Not sure what you mean "show attachments," but there are a couple of ways for you to detect that a message contains an attachment.

1) In the message list, you'll see column headings like "Subject," "From," "Date," "Status," etc. On the far right, if you've enabled it, you'll see a column heading that looks like a paper clip. When a message has an attachment, that column will display a little envelope.

To enable/disable columns, click the very last icon in the heading row and check/uncheck items as you wish.

2) In the message pane, to the left of the boldface word "Subject:" at top, you'll see a triangular icon. Click it to show/hide the message details such as From, To, etc. At the far right you'll see a small pane titled, "Attachments" in which the attachments are listed by name. If there is no attachment list, that's because the message has no attachments. You can open them directly by double-clicking them, or save them by right-clicking and choosing your preferred options. You can also save all attachments from a message in one pass by right-clicking and choosing "Save all."

3) Finally, if you haven't enabled the attachment column as described in item 1) above, but you have enabled the "Size" column, messages with sizes in MB instead of KB probably have attachments. ;-)
