These days I was getting mails attaching images that Gnus cannot
decode. MS Outlook 14.0 sends such mails and I verified it can
decode. The header of the image part of such a mail looks like
this:
Content-Type: ;
name="IMG_3156.JPG"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="IMG_3156.JPG"
Note that the first token (i.e., "image/jpeg") is missing in the
Content-Type header. So, I tried making Gnus guess the type from
the file name extension (the Git master). Dissecting such a mail
by `C-d' works as well.

Not just broken, but utterly broken - yay!

Cool! Except that it is sad that it is necessary...
Best regards,

Sorry, I concluded that this issue is attributed to the broken
mails sender and the friends. So, I'll revert the changes.
MS Outlook 14.0 was not a culprit. The cause of the absence of
the first token in the Content-Type header was that the value
for the "Content Type" in the .jpg registry entry[1] was empty.
Though I don't know why such a breakage happened, I asked him to
fix it and the problem has gone.
[1] regedit -> \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg
