Hi, is there a function in the outlook to "reply" to the message with attachment included? Not asking about copy paste, or drag in or forward. Simple reply with attachment.

Many thanks

Robert

    this is very inconvenient that it is not possible to reply with attachments from the previous email. Seems like a basic feature to me that should be available. In previous versions of Outlook it existed, what is the reason for this disturbing change?

    This would be very helpful for folks that need to add others to an email chain.

    My scenario:

    Email is received with multiple attachments (many documents and pics), but I need to add a few others directly.

    Current options:

    1. Reply all, drag and drop the 10 attachments into the reply email, add additional email addresses or @ someone to add them
    2. Forward, then copy paste all of the existing recipients, as well as add additional addresses or @ someone.

    Two ways to fix this:

    1. Reply all with attachments and then I can easily @ someone
    2. Forward & include original recipients.

    A global titan like MS that had $65B+ in revenue in 2024 should have the expertise to make this happen very easily.

    that feature USED to be available as an option, but similar to other things MSoft has done, they took a useful feature and took it out !!!

    Very frustrating really.

    Agreed. I can't even download it anyway because of Company imposed restrictions.

    Their "enhancements" are awful. They end up getting rid of a functionality while fixing old issues, which makes the application overall worse.

    The search function as of last year is almost worthless compared to what it used to be.
