It's not consistent, apparently. I do have a message (with 2 images and multiple PDF attachments) where it looks like this:

       15095  97% - notmuch-show-command-hook
       15095  97%  - redisplay
          16   0%   - redisplay_internal (C function)
          16   0%    - eval
          16   0%       spaceline-ml-main

when global-hl-line-mode is on. Unfortunately, I cannot share this message. Generally, it only happens when one of the attached images is visible in the window.

If I stumble across this problem with a message that I can share, I'll post it here.
