You may have pressed 'u', which toggles the delete flag on an attachment. If an attachment is marked for deletion, it will be deleted, whether or not you send the mail. The reason for this behavior is that Mutt uses the delete feature for its own internal use. Many of the attachments Mutt creates (such as the message body itself) are placed in temporary files, and Mutt marks them for deletion. If you were to decide not to send the mail, you would still want those temporary files deleted. However, any attachments that you set the delete flag on, will also be deleted if you quit the message, since Mutt doesn't know the difference.
