So, first we have:

[Message part 2 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Then we type "fer", and then get:

[Message part 4 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

But...  I think I'd expect getting

[Message part 6 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 7 (text/plain, inline)]

instead?  Probably.
