Well, I think this is what you get when the sender declared the
attachment to be attached "inline", and for text files some email apps
do that automatically.  But you can force the display of mime buttons
with `K b' to see what's text and what's attachment and to save it.

There's also `mm-inline-override-types'...

,----[ (info "(emacs-mime)Display Customization") ]
| `mm-inline-override-types'
|      `mm-inlined-types' may include regular expressions, for example to
|      specify that all `text/.*' parts be displayed inline.  If a user
|      prefers to have a type that matches such a regular expression be
|      treated as an attachment, that can be accomplished by setting this
|      variable to a list containing that type.  For example assuming
|      `mm-inlined-types' includes `text/.*', then including `text/html'
|      in this variable will cause `text/html' parts to be treated as
|      attachments.
