class MMsvAttachmentManager
/**
Defines the attachment management interface.

This class is a pure virtual interface class that defines the APIs to be used for
attachment management in the Messaging Framework. It is expected that the clients of
this interface will be MTMs implementations that require attachment management.

The API allows is based around the use of the CMsvAttachment object that represents
any type of attachment that is supported by the Messaging Framework. The CMsvAttachment
object provides users with various attributes about the attachment without having to
actually load or retrieve the attachment.

This attachment manager API supports the following different types of attachments:
1 - File attachments, file based attachments that are copied or created in the message 
	store.
2 - Linked file attachments, file based attachments that are not copied and are simply 
	linked to the file location on disk.
3 - Message entry attachments, existing message entries that can be registered as
	attachments of another message entry.

For file based attachments, this API also supports the retrieval of the files as
open read-only file handles.

All functionality that requires the attachment manager to be in edit mode have been
defined as asynchronous. The attachment manager does not allow multiple asynchronous
requests to be made at the same time.
