Yes, this is a bug. The file is attached, but not shown by the UI. :-/

A related UI issue you just mentioned, a pet peeve of mine:
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323127

Yes, this is a critical issue.

No, Evo 2.4.2 is *not* the only version with this bug. This bug is valid
in *all* Evo 2.4.x versions including 2.4.2. The bug is fixed since
2.4.2.1.


Des, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I was perfectly aware of
the issue that just bit you. But I wanted to talk to Harish about it
first. Now he stepped ahead... *sigh*

Note: I recommend to update to 2.4.2.1 immediately. Everyone who happens
to run a 2.4.x version should do this. Your distro vendor most likely
has updated packages available.
