missing part in emacs UI

Hi, folks. I have one of these broken mails that tend to come from
Apple devices, where the "alternative" part of a multipart/alternative
message contains multipart/related. The MIME structure looks like this:
└┬╴multipart/alternative 896783 bytes
├─╴text/plain 379 bytes
└┬╴multipart/related 892556 bytes
├─╴text/html 1236 bytes
└─╴image/jpeg inline [photo.JPG] 890841 bytes
While annoying, notmuch should be able to handle it ok. The problem is
when viewing this message in the emacs UI, the last inline image/jpeg
part appears to be missing. Here's what my buffer looks like (things in
<> are my comments):
<Beginning of buffer>
<header>
...
</header>
[ multipart/alternative ]
[ text/plain ]
...
[ multipart/related ]
[ text/html ]
...
<End of buffer>
There is no part button for the final image/jpeg part. The only reason
I suspected that something was amiss was because there was zero content
(other than a signature) in the rest of the message, so it appeared to
be basically contentless. I noticed the additional part when I looked
at the raw message. There are no errors associated with the display of
the message. I could extract the image/jpeg part from the command line
just fine (notmuch show --part=5 --format=raw), and the image is not
corrupted.
I'm guessing this has something to do with the final part being
"inline", but that's pure speculation. Even if it's inline, though, I
expect to see the part button, so that I can save/view/etc. the part.
Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? Thanks in advance.
jamie.
