Description
In the new version when an email has an attachment, but that attachment is itself an email, then this is handled as an 'Item'.
It does not have the standard properties like ContentBytes and ContentId.
I would however like to download this file/item programatically but things like $emailAttachment->getContentBytes(); do not work.
I've also tried getting creative like:
$fileContents = $graphServiceClient->users()->byUserId($user_id)->messages()->byMessageId($email->getId())->attachments()->byAttachmentId($emailAttachment->getId())->content()->get()->wait();
But alas, still not working.
Any ideas?

Research direction
Start with the attachment and content request paths shown in the issue, including getContentBytes() and the attachments()->byAttachmentId()->content() call. Check how an email attachment represented as an Item is modeled and whether the SDK exposes a download path for it. Done means programmatic retrieval works for this attachment type and is covered by a regression test.
