I've observed this behavior as well - you get the save dialog if you just 
open it by using "next" to move through posts, but if you hit escape and 
then hit enter, it'll load the image in the message pane.

I see this on gmane on in povray.binaries.images quite regularly.  There's 
a size threshold that it hits before it asks to save rather than viewing 
by default.
