Description
The v5.200-RC2 seems still not work well with a single part
encoded binary message with message header
| MIME-version: 1.0 (1.0)
| Content-type: image/jpeg; name=image1.JPG;
| x-apple-part-url=********-B62E-46C8-A0CB-************
| Content-disposition: inline; filename=image1.JPG
| Content-transfer-encoding: base64
reached me recently via
| X-Mailer: iPhone Mail (14A456).
The stable v5.010 does try to open it with a viewer (e.g., Photo) but
shows nothing (a black screen), while the v5.200-RC2 just keeps showing
"Opening the attachment"
without proceeding after touched "Open" or "Saving".
My Android is a 4.4.2 with security patch level 2016-02-01.
The same message shows picture "image1.JPG" normally with my MUA "Mew"
on Windows PC.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Android 4.4.2 with the single-part base64 image/jpeg message from iPhone Mail, comparing behavior in v5.010 and v5.200-RC2. Done means the image attachment opens in a viewer and can be saved instead of remaining at "Opening the attachment."
