If you’ve ever needed to forward an email to someone else without including any comments or additional text of your own, you might have wondered if there’s a better way to do it. Luckily, there is! By forwarding an email as an attachment in Outlook, you can send the entire email without adding anything extra or altering the contents.

Here’s how to forward an email as an attachment in Outlook:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and find the email you want to forward. Make sure it’s open in its own window.

2. Click on the “More” button in the top right corner of the email window. This will expand the options menu.

3. From the options menu, select “Forward as Attachment”. This will attach a copy of the email to a new message.

4. A new email window will open with the original email attached as a .msg file. You can enter the recipient’s email address in the To field, along with a subject line and any message you want to include.

5. Once you’ve entered all the necessary information, click on the “Send” button to send the email as an attachment.

That’s all there is to it! By forwarding an email as an attachment, you can ensure that the recipient receives every part of the original email, including all attachments and formatting. This can be especially helpful when forwarding business emails, legal documents, or other important communications that need to be kept intact.

It’s important to note that some email clients may not support the .msg file format, so the recipient may need to have Microsoft Outlook installed on their computer to view the attachment. However, if the recipient doesn’t have Outlook, they can still forward the attached email to themselves and view it as a separate message.

In summary, forwarding an email as an attachment in Outlook is a simple and effective way to send important messages without altering the content. Give it a try the next time you need to forward an email to someone else!
