      // Extract this attachment to the output directory 
      // Note: FileName of an embedded file is not guaranteed to be unique, therefore, we will append 
      // the file number which is unique to the output name 
      string outputFileName = $"{embeddedFile.FileNumber}-{embeddedFile.FileName}"; 
      Console.WriteLine($"  Extracting to {outputFileName}");
