Having a problem attaching an Excel file; when I restarted it, saved message was not visible in drafts

I had written a fairly long message, and tried to attach an Excel spreadsheet. I usually have a problem finding a MS file - seems to have a number of "documents" folder locations. Assume some are "copy of" folders. So every copy I could find of the *file* gave an error of "File name" "Not implemented". I thought at first it was a pseudo-folder issue, why I tried all of them.

One of the suggestions I read was to log out and back in to TBird. I x'd out of it, and said yes to save as draft. When I logged back in, the Drafts folder was empty. I did a search all on my account, and found it, with the folder listed as Drafts. But I still couldn't get the Excel to attach (I finally solved it by using Outlook. Not my favorite option, but it seems to have worked.

I went back to Drafts after sending with Outlook, and I'm not sure what happened, but it was no longer showing in the Drafts, and then I did something else, and it showed up in Drafts. No, not sure what I did.

Anyone have any ideas? TBird: 128.7.1esr (64-bit) Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2502 Build 16.0.18526.20086) 64-bit
