Bug in Pegasus - cannot see attachments

It's good to know that deleting the attached e-mail lets you access the other attached files.

But that assumes that you know there are 'hidden' attachments in an email you received - a strong assumption at best.

Under certain conditions, Pegasus (V 4.61) does not show some attachments to an email, even though the email was created with Pegasus, and the attachments are present.

To reproduce:

Send yourself an email (email A) that contains Plain text and HTML text versions of a few words.

When you receive email A, forward it to yourself as an attachment to a new email (email B) that also contains Plain text and HTML text of a few words.

When you receive email B, forward it to yourself as an attachment to a third email (email C) that also contains Plain text and HTML text of a few words. Attach to email C some other file with any content, so that email C will have two attachments (email B and a file).

When you receive email C, open it and you will find that the file you attached is not shown in the "Attachments" tab - there is no way to open that attached file in Pegasus. The file is there - you can see it in the Raw view. You can also open it if you forward email C to Outlook or to Gmail. It's just Pegasus that is confused.

(Real world situation where this happened: email B was an email to postmaster containing email A that had had bounced back. Email C was the postmaster forwarding email B, and attaching a log file. The log file was invisible).

Concur, I attached 3 other attachments and they were not visible, however if you delete the e-mail in the attachment section you can access the other attached files.  This delete is not even permanent until you close the message and confirm the deletion.
