Did you also test for the case where folder data is NOT cached for offline use?
In the past, there have been issues causing corruption of attachments when 
offline caching
is not used.
For example, receive a mail message with a largish attachment, read only the 
text part (attachments are never downloaded), then forward the whole message 
including attachment to another address.   Receiver gets only "This part will 
be downloaded on demand" instead of attachment.
Other example: receive message that fulfilled the criteria for the bug 
discussed here to cause repeated downloading, but in a folder that has offline 
caching disabled.  Open attachments.  Attachments are corrupt.

Those errors resurfaced at the same time the issue discussed in this bug 
appeared, and
showed the same phenomena (like a wrong message size in the message list, a 
repair of the folder temporarily fixing it).  I think it is the same bug but 
manifested in a different way because of the different setting of offline 
caching.
