I just tried this myself, and it looks like the problem is that the OutlookServicesClient just doesn't include the attachment data when you do the send. You can see this yourself if you use Fiddler.

I'll let the folks responsible for this library know about this. In the meantime, you can make it work by first saving the message as a draft, then updating with the attachments, then sending. Something like:

// Save to Drafts folder
await outlook.Me.AddMessageAsync(m);

foreach (var attach in me.Attachments)
{
    var file = attach.File;
    var fileversion = file.GetVersion(attach.Version);
    string fullpath = LibraryServiceImpl.GetFullNameInArchive(fileversion);
    var mattach = new FileAttachment { Name = file.Name, ContentId = attach.ContentId, ContentLocation = fullpath, ContentType = GraphicUtils.DetermineMime(Path.GetExtension(fullpath)) };
    if (file.Name.MissingText())
        mattach.Name = attach.ContentId + fileversion.FileExtension;
    m.Attachments.Add(mattach);
}

// Update with attachments
await m.UpdateAsync();
// Send the message
await m.SendAsync();
