Bug Description
The non-text attachments (images, pdfs, etc.) are shown as inline text, like this. This makes evolution unusable for e-mail with attachments. I'm using the latest version: 2.8.0

I have more information on this bug. It seems to be caused by a problem with the imap implementation. When using pop3 the e-mails are displayed fine. Other mail readers do not have trouble displaying these messages.
Nice detail: The imap server causing these troubles is a Novell one.
