You should not snip all of them, specifically the MIME headers,
i.e. Content-type: would necessary debugging information.

I guess it does contain:

  Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-9--626804718

?

Something which is a bit odd about your example: the attachment
is on the same level as the HTML part, which means you will not
see it if VM decides to present the PLAIN TEXT part.  But still
you should see it if you press "D" once, i.e. you should get
buttons for each mime part.

Maybe you also want to try my version of VM
http://www.robf.de/Hacking/elisp/ and see if
the problem still exists.

If you send me a test mail I might debug the problem, but I
cannot reproduce it here.

Robert.
