Right, that's the whole point.  If you look at the raw text of the
message (`C-u g') you'll see two instances therein of the following:

  Content-Type: image/png
  Content-Disposition: inline; filename=boost.png
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

but the 2nd one is garbled so as to be invisible (in this case).  In
more recent Gnusen you'll see an empty box where the image should be.
