In case anyone else has this problem....
It turned out to be a problem in fetchmail. This works for me now under
kernel 2.6.4 if that matters.
I am using fetchmail-6.2.5
Procmail-3.22
sendmail-8.12.11
Gory details under bug 120235.

Hello,
I don't have quotas set up on the box. I checked the hard disk for free
space and it still has 3 GB left so isn't the problem.
I switched Evolution to retreive email from the pop server directly
rather than from mbox and the images were ok.
Thanks for trying to help.
