(What are their Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers?) Assuming they're image/png MIME attachments, are they being converted to some other format, via `vm-mime-type-converter-alist' or `vm-mime-image-type-converter-alist'? `vm-mime-use-image-strips' defaults to t. Does the problem occur if you set it to nil? Does the problem occur if you clean out the temp directory before selecting such a message (so that you can be sure the file didn't already exist with the wrong permission)? -- Kevin Rodgers
