Mail-App: Faulty download makes attachment inaccessible

Oberved since 3.0.3.10 and probably before.
Every once in a while I recieve a mail with a small file attached¹. Sometimes besides further attached files, sometimes it's the only attachment.
After downloading the attachment label states 'downloaded' and displays 0 B as size.
For PDF files Documents tells me that the file is damaged and can't be read.
One affected PDF would get listed in file overview as a file of 0,1 Mb.
Checking the file with FileBrowser gives me 115,44 kb as size. The actual size would be 84,4 kb.
Image files open as a black picture in Gallery but are not visible in the overview at all. The size reported by FileBrowser is 1,26Mb while actually it should be 900kb.
There is _no way to ever get this file downloaded correctly_ again. Deleting it from within Documents, Gallery or manually from the folder mail_attachments won't help.
I have to use a another device (e.g. laptop) to be able to see the file.
Downloading the PDF there, the actual file size turns out to be 84,4 kb.
