No, different application.  And they're not HTML emails, and they've
attached the files in a simple manner to plain text posts that
Evolution won't show them without you doing something.

Imagine you have a device that takes a photo whenever it detects
movement, and emails it to you.  You receive a plethora of emails, with
masses of false positives, and you have to step through each one to see
each image.  But, wait, it's not that easy.  You also have to click in
each email to see the picture.

I had considered batch stripping all the JPEGs from all the emails
(they, at least, have unique filenames).  But Evolution doesn't want to
let me select a bunch of emails and download all attachments in one go.
I'd have to parse the emails externally.
