Are you sure this is the complete traceback?  Usually an AttributeError
returns a text message such as:

   AttributeError: foo has no such attribute bar

Also, the traceback says the exception happened in "save_file", but the
code you posted was a function called "save_attachments" and the
function call is different.

Would be nice if we could get the full traceback with the exact matching
code.  Otherwise we have to make guesses.  But I've given up. Perhaps
someone else is better off helping you.
