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

    As I was reading your post and the reply, several questions came to mind.

    Could you accomplish this by uploading the file to OneDrive and sending a link?

    Is this file ever going to be modified?

    Because attachments are stored with the original message, any modifications would have to be saved as a new file or the modifications would not save.

    When you reply, are you going to send the original file or the modified file?

    Is the file going to be sent to several people?

    Good day to you as well Katerina,

    thank you for the response and yes, i am aware about possibilities you described and I was searching for that particular feature to reply with att.

    Anyway, thank you again and i am sure (since i was browsing other chats then this one) than more people will benefit from that feature; it would be great if you can raise the topic to Product Team.

    Nice day

    Robert
