When working with certain file names, I've noticed an issue with the 'Download attachment' endpoint. Specifically, when using this endpoint, the returned file has an incorrect name. For instance, if I send a message with the file name 'filename_MM/DD/YYYY.format' and then utilize the 'Download attachment' endpoint, the retrieved file is named 'YYYY.format' instead of the expected 'filename_MM/DD/YYYY.format'. Strangely, the file name appears correctly when using the 'Get message' endpoint to retrieve the attachment within the message.

I would appreciate your guidance on identifying the cause of this discrepancy and suggestions on resolving the issue associated with the 'Download attachment' endpoint. Thank you.
