When you encrypt an e-mail with a html-body which has embedded images, this images are seen as normal attachments after decryption on the receiver side. After an analysis of the received e-mail I could see, that all Contentid - tags of the image describing mime-parts are blank after decryption. They were filled before encryption. So it is clear that GpgOL has just deleted them.

Yes. Sorry about that. We had multiple issues where attachments were hidden and not shown as attachments because they had a content-id but that content-id was not referenced in a way that outlook shows.
So the decision was to always show all attachments because the usability loss is less bad then accidentally hiding an attachment the user requires. We will not fully change that because we cannot be 100% sure if an attachment can be accessed when we let outlook hide it and hiding an attachment feels to users like data loss.
Still I keep this issue open because I have noticed a different issue that the references in the mail body do not work anymore and at least for the most used case of embedding images as part of a mail in the text we should improve the behavior there. We had a better handling in previous versions.
