If you have View/Display Attachments Inline checked, a plain text or image file attachment will appear 'opened' below the message body.

There's something odd in your first picture: it shows 'size unknown' for the attachments, as if they aren't really attached in full. If you look at the message source (Ctrl+U), can you see the text of the message? Are these messages sent from a smartphone or is the sender using some kind of text-to-email process on T-Mobile?
