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.

    This is AWFUL.

    This was one of the features that set Outlook apart from the others and why I purchased the package.

    Whose bright idea was it to remove such a functional and critical feature?! Please reinstate it ASAP. This is step backward and terrible development.

    This is just such a time-consuming solution. I understand it is currently the only way to do it, but why oh why would they have removed this functionality???

    Why workaround? if this feature is available in old Outlook then it should be available in new Outlook also. It's a very frequently used functionality and should be available. there will be significant productivity loss if this feature is not available. I switched back to the old Outlook due to this.
