No.  It is probably a part of a multipart/alternative container.  So  
it is, by definition, NOT an attachment (since multipart/alternative  
parts can NEVER contain attachments - that's why they are  
multipart/alternative).

The message was probably sent from Apple Mail.  Which is known to be  
terribly broken when it comes to e-mail.
