Description
Describe the bug
When creating a draft email with a signature containing inline images (e.g., 6 images), the Graph API initially returns the correct number of attachments (6). However, after adding a PDF attachment to the same draft, the API returns duplicated inline image attachments (13 total - 6 original + 6 duplicates + 1 PDF). On subsequent API calls, the inline images continue to multiply exponentially (e.g., each inline image appears 4 times on the next call).
Expected behavior
Initial draft creation: 6 inline image attachments
After adding PDF: 7 total attachments (6 inline images + 1 PDF)
Subsequent API calls should maintain the same 7 attachments without duplication
Inline images should appear only once regardless of how many times attachments are added or the draft is accessed
How to reproduce
Create a draft email with a signature containing 6 inline images
Call Graph API to retrieve attachments - confirm 6 attachments returned
Add a PDF attachment to the same draft via Graph API
Call Graph API to retrieve attachments - observe 13 attachments (inline images duplicated)
Make another API call to retrieve attachments - observe inline images now duplicated more times each
Each subsequent call continues to duplicate the inline image attachments

Research direction
Start by reproducing the draft-email sequence described in the issue: create a signature with six inline images, add a PDF through the Graph API, and retrieve attachments after each call. Investigate the SDK behavior around attachment handling; done means the six inline images remain single instances and the PDF is the only additional attachment across subsequent calls.
