Comment:

 @threeatetwo I've been analyzing this ticket to try to reach a conclusion.

 ✅Everything is working as expected. There is no bug here

 Remember that WordPress, by default, only provides a very simple wrapper
 for PHPMailer that any plugin can take advantage of extending via
 `phpmailer_init` action hook. But given the out-of-the-box mailing simple
 functionality of WordPress, I can't foresee an enhancement for this
 anytime soon.

 Anyway, I provide you here with an example on how you can add attachments
 to the `phpmailer_init` hook (for example, you should be passing the
 s3_path from the result of a `WP_Query` or something like that or whatever
 idea have the plugin maintainers in mind).

 Here is the plugin
 https://github.com/SirLouen/amazon-s3-email-
 testing/archive/refs/tags/1.0.0.zip

 This said, this plugin serves as testing instructions @Boniu91

 I'm going to set this ticket as candidate to close + wontfix.
