not much changed between 1.4.0 and 1.4.3 in the mailer, and I just went
over the ChangeLog and nothing could have possibly affected this.

also... I am 100% certain that Evolution never ever handled image/pjpeg
because as NotZed said, the image types we handle is hard-coded and that
list has been the same since the 1.0 days.

also, unless image/pjpeg is identical in format to image/jpeg (and if it
is identical, why the different mime type?), then gdk-pixbuf (part of
Gtk+) doesn't even handle image/pjpeg anyway, so it would be impossible
for us to support it.

OK, I believe you when you say nothing should have affected this, but obviously something has! I'm not a programmer, so can't go rooting around in the source code myself. Could something have changed that in 1.4.0 it looked at the first few bytes of the file to determine if it's an image and what image format, and in 1.4.3 it's relying on the mime-type?

I can forward you personally screen shots of the behavior on the same messsage in 1.4.0 and 1.4.3 if you like, along with the e-mail itself.
