I do not have the new manage your kindle, sorry despite my best efforts, I seem to be saying things as confusingly as possible

Let me break it down bit by bit

1) I have a mobi file, it's nicely done in calibre with a summary and a cover.
2) When I transfer said file to my kindle via USB everything shows up exactly like it's supposed to
3) When I turn off the auto-archive feature and e-mail it to a specific device the cover displays on the device exactly like it is supposed to.
4) Since I use my kindle on a tablet, a phone, and an actual kindle Touch, I said, "Hey why not turn on auto-archive so I can sync up my reading between the multiple devices I have?"
5) At this point when I e-mail the mobi file it shows up in the manage your kindle (which is just a list). If I click on the + sign next to the document it expands out and there is no cover
6) If I go to my kindle or any of my other devices and browse the "cloud" it shows my personal documents with just a generic "K" as the cover image
7) If I download the book from the cloud to my device, then the cover shows up.

It's really a minor nuisance but one that I'd like to figure out how to fix, when I'm looking at the "cloud" from my kindle, I'd like to see the cover instead of a generic K as a browse the books. Now that I think about it, it would be nice if I could work this out with Amazon because the whole reason I turned on the auto-archive in the first place was to sync my progress between my reading devices.
