Now take that email and forward it to yourself. When it arrives the picture won't be viewable. The problem only happens when you forward an email.

Sorry but that works too. I opened the email with the picture, tapped on the arrow on the bottom next to the start new email icon, chose forward, chose include attachment, and hit send. Then hit refresh and received the email from me and the picture open right up.

I tried this to see if I could duplicate the problem. The forwarded pic is viewable on the iphone but would not open on my desktop client. I use Yahoo and Comcast accounts.
Edit: The forwarded mail on the desktop client shows a box with red x in the body but the picture is there in the attachment line so it does work either way.
