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.

    review for clarity the lack of the ability to reply in outlook to all with the original attachment: I I would continue to add my frustration to this topic with the "Lack of a Feature" that decreases my daily efficiency by clicking forward and re-adding all the names + one person or downloading and opening files and dragging and dropping again in a new email chain. Give me the option to reply, and reply all with and without the attachment. PLEEEASSEE !!!!

    Has this been updated yet? It's been 2 years. Surely Microsoft can figure out how to do this. Even if it's a window prompt that says, "Would you like to include attachments in your REPLY?" with a little check box that says, "DON'T ASK ME THIS AGAIN."

    Has anyone gotten this to work automatically with VBA?

    Been trying on my side but it wont attach the attachments when hitting reply.

    Im Admin and have checked that it isnt blocked. I want to add it to "this outlook session" so it works automatically.

    Using Outlook Classic when trying to achieve this. Outlook new isnt an option for the end user in this case cause its still missing some functionality.

    I have selfcerted and everything is allowed. ive done a few VBA before and it has run well but here nothing happens. 3rd party software feels odd for this kind of function.
