 Right, but we're using that same check to determine if it is an Image. We
 have no good way of determining if it is not an image (but is, and is
 failing), or if it is not an image (and really isn't an image).

 Can you please test [attachment:22740.diff]? What it does is automatically
 assume that .jpg, .png, and .gif are images, so the fields may be shown,
 even if it can't load it.

 If we wanted to top this off, we can probably also add back a red X if it
 thinks it is an image based on the extension (which will show the fields)
 but fetching it doesn't work (which will tell the user something is
 wrong).
