I was sure it was an Exchange/Outlook problem.  In any case I verified

Outlook to get mail from the same server, receive the attachments. So
they are not lost there either.

I just hoped there was some workaround.

The following may be helpful -- albeit, not quite for what you were
looking:

I found a decent workaround for the following Exchange bug that I
previously mentioned:

I added a rule in Outlook to copy all new messages to a save folder.
Hence, if any message is truncated during IMAP retrieval, I can always
get it back without having to bother the sender.

I also changed the AutoArchive property for the save folder to delete
its items after 1 month.  Hence, Outlook will automatically clean up
the saved messages without my intervention.
