What does Mandrill do with attachments in test mode?

Tags:

I am porting a client's website away from using the servers sendmail to using Mandrill. Creating a test API key is great for testing the code/process on a dev version of the site, but is there a way I can test that the attachments are working within this test mode?

As far as I experienced last week, there's no option to preview an attachment in test mode. Actually I wasn't able to do it even with production keys which is quite surprising if I'm not missing something.

All I can see in the API logs is the email, but at least for me, there is no option to preview the attachment.
