Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported flow: create a message with an attachment in another client, save it to a shared IMAP draft folder, then open and save or send it in K-9 Mail. Trace the draft and attachment handling from that entry point, and confirm the attachment remains available after the draft is saved or sent.
