I have a similiar problem with 
ii  thunderbird             2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubu mail/news client with RSS 
and integrated spam filter support

I performed several test and found out that ONLY Thunderbird (I tried
two other IMAP clients, evolution and Squirrelmail) doewnloads the
attachment only INCOMPLETE.

It's truncated at the very end. I tried several machines (32 Bit and 64
bit) and all of them expose the same behaviour.

It results in "short" attachments and subsequently programs like
eving/eog not being able to open TIFF attachments at all.

-rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb  52864 2008-10-31 14:39 broken-linux.TIF
-rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb  73845 2008-10-31 13:21 notbroken-outlook.TIF

I then used "od" to create a hexdump and used diff to see "what
changed":

-rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb 210468 2008-10-31 14:47 broken-linux.od
-rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb 294277 2008-10-31 14:47 notbroken-outlook.od

Attached is the diff of those two *.od files


** Attachment added: "diff of those two *.od files"
