When troubleshooting Database Mail, use this view to see the properties of the attachments.
Attachments stored in the system tables can cause the msdb database to grow. Use sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp to delete mail items and their associated attachments. For more information, see How to: Create a SQL Server Agent Job to Archive Database Mail Messages and Event Logs.
