Default Why OE did not see attachments?

I received email in an Hotmail account. When I popped the message into OE,
the entire message was indeed pulled into OE, but OE did not recognize the
attachments as such, making it appear that the message had no attachments.

(But OE displayed only the original body the message. It did not show the
attachments in their ASCII form either.)

Yet when I tried to isolate the problem by sending a message to my Hotmail
account, attaching exactly the same (binary) files, then popping the message
into OE, OE had no problem recognizing the attachments and indicating their
presence.

Can anyone explain this?

I have included relevant excerpts from both messages. See below. The
entire messages are too long to include here -- about 5.2 Mbytes each.

I do not see any material difference.

I am using OE 6.00.2900.5512(xpsp.080413-2105), MS Win XP SP3 with IE
6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236.
