When people send me text messages with a picture attached, I receive the message but it says something like this, with a "download" button: Message size: 1KB Expires: AM, Mar 12 [Download] When I press the download button, it changes to the text "Downloading" for a moment, and then it changes back to the download button and nothing else happens.

Let me make you familiar with the word Cache. When you are using any website or any app, the applications start storing some files for future references. It includes the password, cookies, URL, and some other information also.
The data is saved in the cache of the app. For example, if you are reading a piece of news in a news app then the information of the news will get download when the first time you have open that and then even if you do not have internet the page will open because this time the data is coming from the cache. So, this is the advantage of the cache. But sometimes, your app misbehaves due to the majority of the data or due to the bogged space.
Hence it is always recommended to clear the cache of your app frequently. Now open the messaging app which was earlier showing error and now you will see the messages downloading.
