I think that the "why" is the easy part - for some reason, TB thinks
that the first paragraph is part of the header, and is not displaying
it.  TB and other email software identifies the end of the header and
the start of the message text by an empty line (a line which only has
a new line character on it.

Perhaps, as I think that some others have mentioned, there is a space
on the "blank" lines.  IIRC, TB will strip surplus spaces when it is
reformatting messages, so maybe the message is being reformatted and
the spaces stripped at some point in the process of forwarding the
message, saving the attachment, and re-importing.  Other than that, I
don't have a clue.

Do you have MS Word or a similar program installed?  Display the
message with the RCF-822 headers displayed, and then copy all of the
text and paste it to a blank document in Word.  If Word does not show
non-printing characters (tabs, spaces, etc) by default enable this by
going to Tools|Options|View and in the Formatting Marks section,
select [ALL].  Then check the message, and see if there is anything
other than just a paragraph mark on the lines between the Subject:
line in the headers, and the first paragraph.
