I cannot copy a complete e-mail anymore and paste it in a new e-mail.

Hi, I am using the most recent version of Office 365 Outlook, and since I updated to the new layout, I am not able to copy a complete email anymore.

The only option I have is to copy and move the email to a certain number of preset folders. However, I mostly use this function to copy and add the email to an ongoing but different email thread. It seems that this not possible anymore or at least I don't how to do it.

Thanks for anyone's advice.

    Also if you have a reading pane on- you can just drag it that way so no need to minimize or pop our e-mail

    Fully agree with Michael W_258 and others. The Old Outlook has this very intuitive function to copy and paste the entire email (even copy multiple existing emails) to a brand new email thread. Please revive this function in the New Outlook at your earliest.

    The proposed workarounds work but are very time consuming.

    Thank you ahead, Microsoft, for looking into this desperately wanted functionality since last Nov 2023.

    100% agreement here, it is absolutely silly that you can't simply copy and paste an entire email as a file into a new email. This needs fixing ASAP.
