Steps to reproduce
- log into email account on desktop and draft email with an attachment (any file), then save it
- open app on mobile and select the draft and open the email / or fill an email-address and send -> the attached file is NOT present
Expected behavior
regardless if common picture format, please make the file appear at the bottom as if i were to add the picture on the mobile app; after clicking paper clip on mobile adding pictures works and the picture/attach. appears at the bottom
in contrast if the email with attachment is pulled from server it wont show; instead of webinterface of email provider i now tried thunderbird desktop; also no success
i really need draft files to show up please
Actual behavior
see expected behavior

Done means the existing attachment appears when the draft is opened on mobile and remains available when sending.
