already exists in the temp folder, SQL Server overwrites the existing file.
With
SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server renames the new file with a numeric suffix.

files. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.This problem was first corrected in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4.MORE INFORMATIONIMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry.
Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you
understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information
about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, click the following
article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk. To control if SQL Mail overwrites
existing attachment files after you apply this hotfix, you must first add the
following registry key value: OverwriteExistingAttachmentFiles
DWORD (assume default value of 1) When you set OverwriteExistingAttachmentFiles equal to 0 (OverwriteExistingAttachmentFiles = 0) in the
registry, attachment files cannot be overwritten. The OverwriteExistingAttachmentFiles key presents the file sequence as Sample.txt, Sample.txt1,
Sample.txt2 and so on. Here are some examples. For a default
instance the entry is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLSERVER\OverwriteExistingAttachmentFiles
For a named instance the entry is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\InstanceName\MSSQLSERVER\OverwriteExistingAttachmentFiles
If the registry key value does not exist, SQL
Mail will overwrite the existing attachment files. For the new
registry value to work, you must restart SQL Mail.
