They are already downloaded. Attachments aren't floating out on the web
somewhere separate of the e-mail. They are *in* the e-mail as MIME
parts where the original file got encoded into text characters within
that MIME part. So if you downloaded the e-mail then you already have
the attachments.
That they show up inside the body of the e-mail means they are linked
images or the sender used RTF (rich-text format) which is not
recommended unless sender and receipient are both using Outlook and both
are within the same Exchange organization.
Saving non-bitmap image files where only bitmap is available for the
saved file may be problem with your temp file cache (for IE). Read
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810978. How do you know they are not
..bmp files rather than .jpg files?
