Just upgraded to Snow leopard; can't receive photo attach's in email

We just upgraded to snow leopard and now can't receive photos in email attachments. All that pops up is a bunch of alpha-numeric characters in some emails and the little blue boxes with the inserted question marks in others. Also seem to note that replies are not denoted or marked/flagged as they were in the previous version, though this is not as big a deal as the said replies seem to make it to their intended destination. Mail version is 4.5 (1084). Please advise

I too am having a problem receiving attached photos after upgrading to 10.6.7 On my desktop machine, an early Mac Pro, all works well but on my macbook pro I see, in the mail list mail with attachments but on opening the mail no text exists and no attachment. Ran Applejack deep clean, rebuilt directory with Disk Warrior, reinstalled combo update, no joy. This only appears to affect photos, I've gotten text attachments.

Another note, Ernie... I said that I emailed a pic from the imac (which is where I'm having the problems... snow leopard?) to my ipad and no problem, the pic shows up fine; but if I then forward that email BACK to the imac, then no-go... no pic just the following, and I'm shortening it for simplicity's sake:
