A query regarding Mail 5 (Lion).

I've received a message with, supposedly, an attached file which I need.

In the Message Viewer, the size column shows 492KB, indicating an attachment, 
and the Attachments column shows 2 items, indicating the attachment in 
question, the 2nd obviously being a sig file graphic embedded in the message.

However, viewing the message itself, the 'Save' button shows only one 
attachment, the graphic, 14KB. There's no file at the base of the message, 
where you'd usually see an attachment.

I've brought up the forward and redirect windows, to see if that makes my 
missing attachment materialise. Nope. Even forwarded the whole message to a 
hotmail account to see if the attachment appeared in hotmail. No to that as 
well.

The attachment's gotta be buried in the received email somewhere, otherwise I 
wouldn't expect Message Viewer to indicate 492KB and two attachments. The 
embedded graphic is small, definitely not 492KB, and this is about the size I'd 
expect the vaporised attachment to be.

I've quit Mail and relaunched. Rebuilt the mailbox. No joy.

Any clues as to how I might weed out this elusive attachment?

Another thing ... quitting Mail and relaunching no longer remembers all open 
Mail windows.

Previously reported searching issues still an issue despite following all 
suggested fixing attempts.


Lion's Mail is one buggy app!!
