That may mean that they are not REALLY jpegs. However, even if they are malware, they probably(?) can't hurt a linux system so if you want to see them...

From knode save attachment to some temp directory under your home directory. Right click on the file. You'll get something that asks what program to open it with. Navigate to /usr/bin/gwenview or some other imageviewer, but make sure that the ""always open this type of file this way" thingy is NOT checked.
