I too have suffered through this problem since 'upgrading' to iso 7.1.2 for the sole purpose of getting my Face Time to work again. I posted this here two weeks ago with nary a single comment--

Since upgrading to ios 7.1.2 yesterday on my ipad3 (for the sole purpose of being able to use Facetime again), emailed photos to me don't come through intact.
Some are 'shattered', others have broken pixals,or lines separating the photo into sections which are then in different colors.
I did a hard boot (on/off switch with home button) and still no change.
any helpful hints or do I have to wait until ios 8? This all 'fix' FaceTime!
Finally today I noticed on my own when I scrolled to the bottom of the email the line about 'this was downloaded as plain text. click here to see full message'
I said WHAT ???? (actually I said something else) as when I clicked on it ...my photos were there perfect...just as they had been BEFORE the iso 7.1.2.
So now each and every email that has photos, I need to scrroolllllllllllllllllllllllll way down to the bottom to click 'see full message' before I can see the photos. Of course I want to see the full message you apple dingbats!
By comparison, when I post on a Google help forum or Picasa Help Forum, I get immediate assistance from other users who are not paid Google employees..just kind folks who have gained knowledge through trial and error and share and solve problems.
I am not a happy Apple client and it is in no way 'intuitive' ..it is frustrating.😠
