That's unusual. A typical message with 3 attachments would be structured 
like this:

	multipart/mixed
		multipart/alternative
			text/plain
			text/html
		image/jpeg
		image/jpeg
		image/jpeg

If it's a message you can share then you are welcome to send it to me 
(off list). There are no known hangs for an attachments-only message.
