Display of attachments inline is set to false, and this is how Thunderbird behaves. Attachments are not displayed inline.

I have looked at the IMAP server logs when accessing a message with an attached jpeg:

11 UID fetch 4253 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[])
* 227 FETCH (UID 4253 RFC822.SIZE 155140 BODY[] {155140}

I don't understand that fully, but the empty section specification [], according to RFC2060, denotes the entire message.

The bug therefore appears to be that Thunderbird is not picking up that mime_parts_on_demand is set to true, and is asking for the whole message.
