I am reading this using Gmail, and to me it looked like the first message
DID have an attachment.

To investigate, I looked up that message in the list archive:

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-April/076111.html

It very clearly says an attachment was "scrubbed," though it also includes
a link to the attachment, which IS the original screenshot I saw.

So I gather the first attachment was "scrubbed" AND archived, but when I
looked at it Gmail showed it. It did not show the image "inline" in the
message -- it was shown as an attachment.

Maybe some mail client miss the attachment link?

HOWEVER, when the OP re-sent the message with another image:

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-April/076481.html

I see the "attachment was scrubbed" message appears twice, and in Gmail, I
see the attachment twice. But Derek apparently sees it once. I cannot look
at the second message and discern anything that explains such behavior.

SO I gather the behavior of Derek's mail client differs from Gmail somehow.
I cannot tell why attachments from the list behave differently, but I
thought I would bring it up in case this explains some other strangeness
people have noticed.
