As Chris already said, you have to upgrade to 1.4.9a due to security
reasons. However it won't solve your problem.
Strictly speaking SM is doing the right thing because "related" means that
the  attachments (probably images) are probably related to a html message.
 If there   is also an "multipart/alternative" part in the message which
contains the text equivalent then  you won't see the "related" attachments
because they are not related to the alternative text part. Displaying the
message as html is the only way to show the images.

If this is not the problem you are seeing then blame your imap server
because it's producing the wrong bodystructure. SquirrelMail retrieves the
mime structure of a message from the imap server and if that bodystructure
contains mistakes then we cannot do anything.
