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

    Hi,

    I have the same issue. Received an email with attachments where 2 recipients were missing. I need to add them to the thread but the only way to do that is to forward, in which case I have to re-insert all of the original recipients to the email.
    Seems counter-productive and a waste of effort to achieve something relatively simple.
    In other mail clients, when you reply all, there is an option to keep the original attachments...

    Best

    Richard

    It is a VERY needed feature. Business people need an option to reply all with attachments BECAUSE it is so common to need to copy more people in on the email thread. I would be so much simpler and efficient if there were an option to include attachments.

    Think about this. It's very common for email threads at my office to be twenty or thirty replies long. If the original has attachments (and often do), anybody you add along the way is in the dark.

    100% agree. A $3 trillion+ company should not be relying on the community to enhance it applications.

    The third-party add-ins are simply an unacceptable band aid to this problem. This feature should be standard on the Outlook application.

    My organization completely locks down the software's that are used and does not allow any Third-party software due to security concerns. I appreciate that the community has picked up Microsoft's shortcomings, but this is such a simple ask that should be nested within the applications options and settings.
