that's because, by definition, if the only MIME part in the message is
the "attachment", then it is the body of the message.

MIME does not distinguish between message bodies and message
attachments. everything is just a MIME part.

the attachment icon can never be 100% corect all the time. (see the
evolution mailing list archive for an explanation as to why, the
message was sent today)
