Research direction
Start by reproducing the attachment-opening steps on Android with two messages whose attachments share a filename, using the reported app and Android versions where possible. Trace how the selected attachment is identified after returning to the overview. Done means opening the second message's attachment opens that message's file rather than the previously opened one.
