Why a document gets attached without any attach request

Today I sent an email to the condo manager and noticed too late that a pdf was attached that I never requested. The attachment is named "Part 1.2.2" and could not be found with a file search. When you click on that name the file opens normally with the viewer. Incidentally that message was typed in French where you do not use the words attach, attachment etc. because they have a different meaning. This is embarrassing because the attachment contains rather confidential information. Knowing that Windows regularly drops files into a Temp folder I frequently delete them manually. Does anyone know why this mysterious action occurred? Many thanks.

I have a similar experience last month.

1.I replied a mail. 2.A receiver told me that there was a strange file attached in the replied mail. 3.After checking the sent mail, I found there was an attached file named 「Part 1.2.2.1」 and it's type was PDF. 

　The original location of the PDF file was another mail.

Could anyone tell me why this happened? Thanks a lot.
