spam with image/gif doesn't show a rule for "image"

Hi SA users,

We're receiving leaked spam that has one gif image in each.  In such  
emails,
the SA status line doesn't show a rule match for an image.  Here's a  
sample:

No, score=3.0 required=5.0 tests=EXTRA_MPART_TYPE,HTML_MESSAGE   
autolearn=no version=3.1.7

Looking at the source for the email with that status line, it  
contains a MIME
header like this:

------=_NextPart_751_0238_74D66A10.EB28167E
Content-Type: image/gif;
	name="aedvi.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Shouldn't SA notice this image and show an image item in its status  
line?
If so, is this a known problem and is there a fix available?

Thanks for your consideration,

Do you have a rule that looks for an image attachment?  If not, then no.
