MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); //store the mail into this ms 'memory stream'
ms.Position = 0;
message.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(ms, attachmentName));

                {

                    i++;
                    string filenm = "C:\\mail_automation\\attachments\\xyz" + i +".eml";
                    if (File.Exists(filenm))
                    {


                        string fn = attach.FileName;
                        attach.SaveToFile("C:\\mail_automation\\attachments\\xyz" + i + ".eml");
                        Attachment data = new Attachment(filenm);
                        mailMessage.Attachments.Add(data);                    


                    }
                    else
                    {

                        File.Create(filenm);
                        string fn = attach.FileName;
                        attach.SaveToFile("C:\\mail_automation\\attachments\\xyz" + i + ".eml");
                        Attachment data = new Attachment(filenm);
                        mailMessage.Attachments.Add(data);

You have to extract the attachments and save them to disk first, then fetch it again into the new mail.
