`attachmentId`	`Number`	*		The attachment ID

Response

The attachment – served using Content-Disposition: inline in the response header.

Download

The Get and Download endpoints have the same response except for the Content-Disposition HTTP header.
If you want to display the attachment (or delegate the decision to the browser, if you are working with the Mailbox API from a browser based application), use the Get endpoint.
Alternatively, to force the attachment download, use the Download endpoint.

It’s also possible to make this decision based on the attachment’s Content-Type – i.e. show some attachments vs. download others, in which case you can rely on the List endpoint.
