Then those messages do NOT contain an attachment.  You have to  
understand that what *you* might think is an attachment is not  
necessarily an attachment.  E.g. a multipart/related message, with  
images displayed in the message -- those images are NOT attachments.

This is one of the reasons why implementing message forwarding to  
display the list of attachments to select/de-select is an absolutely  
terrible idea.  Attachments, as defined at the MIME level, really have  
NO correlation with what a user might reasonably think is an  
attachment.  Most MIME attachments are not discrete files that can be  
easily downloaded, at least with current browsers/Operating Systems.
