I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think the decoding of attachments will not
be done until the attachment should be shown.

IBrowse uses different threads for networking / display. So, if there is more
then one image do be downloaded IBrowse can download them all at the same time
and the internal image decoder can use streams to display.
Simplemail does not do that and must wait for the first download to be
completed to start the next one and so on. Also the datatypes can not handle
streams, the full imagedata must be available before displaying.
To make Simplemail that much multithreaded (like IBrowse) is much beyond my
knowledge.

Wait for OS4, than all is PPC native :)

Sorry, but that's not that easy as you might think.
