Read links as attachments to .url

The problem the component solves

In some cases, emails can come with URL links as attachments. We should optionally save these as .url files in the attachment subdirectory.

Relevant part of mailbag spec?

4.3.2 Links as attachments

I think mailbagit already supports this. as this comment original cam from community feedback and I believe its referring to links to attachments in message bodies, which is supported. If a .url file is attached, that should be supported too.

I don't believe there is a way to just attach a URL. I known in Outlook you can attach a OneDrive link or reference, but extactMSG doesn't support that, so there's no feasible path for mailbagit to support it.
