Description

User story

"I have noticed as editor that when I send messages to reviewers or authors via Janeway that in the log only the message and not the attachment that I explicitly added gets saved. Is it possible to add the attachments to the messages as stored in the article log?"

Proposed solution

Add links to attached files if they are saved in Janeway.

Research direction

Start by tracing where email messages and their attachments are saved, then find how those messages are rendered in the article log. Confirm that saved attachments appear as links alongside the message, and verify the result with the relevant existing tests if available.
