I'm using Google Apps and sending/receiving mail with other users inside this domain.

I'm receiving messages with inline images (posted in the middle of sentences) but these inline images are not displayed in Gmail -- neither in the message body between the words where they should be, nor as attachments.

The same mail displays correctly in the standard Mail app on my iPhone -- see this comparison:

Here are the images, hihglightedhighlighted in green, and visible on iPhone:

iPhone Mail screenshot

The same images are not shown in Gmail, and they also don't appear as attachments:

It looks like a problem with Gmail, and it's not limited to this particular message. How can I fix this?


Update: Looking at the original message content (see full in Pastebin) it appears that the images are inline in a multipart message, and Gmail is choosing the part without the inline images -- see excerpt below. Both sender and receiver are using Gmail (Google Apps edition) and neither one of us is seeing a message about "display hidden images".

Why doesn't Gmail show embedded images? It works on iPhone's Mail app
