Ideally, in the dry run, I'd like to have it print "attachment: [id]" much
like the emails print "id: [id]" so I can get a count of emails and
associated attachment numbers, which is often required in legal queries as
a the "number of items" found for certain search terms. (I'm on a
slightly older version that only prints "id: [id]" for each email found,
though I believe you added an email found count at the end of the dry run
in a newer version, ideally in that case there would be a count of emails,
and a count of attachments as well).
Thank you!

Yes, I completely agree. I'm usually in as an auditor so I almost forgot
about other roles, thank you!
