Including attachments in Reply messages

[Christina Huskey]

We have a user that would like the ability to include the attachment from the
message when they reply to an email. I looked at the email options and when
replying to a message, you can choose to attach original message. But, if you
reply back and forth, it keeps attaching the previous messages. Is there a
way to reply to messages and keep the attachments without continually
attaching each message?

Why? The recipient of the reply already HAS the attachment! If your user has
edited the attachment, then it is a new file and should be attached
separately.
Just tell the user not to be so silly.

I agree Gordon, but that was the question proposed to me. The explanation was
that the recipiant may ask for the attachment after several corespondence and
then they have to search for it. Regardless of whether or not it is silly, do
you have a solution?

I think you may have to write some code. VBA. I can't think off-hand of ANY
email client that does this, and I've used most of them....

Reply and then drag the attachment from the original to the reply or use
Forward instead of Reply.

The reason I would like to do this is because the other person may have just
made a temporary file to attach. They may not have saved it after the
message was sent. OR (more likely the case) they don't remember where they
saved it. When I am writing back I would like them to have it with the
e-mail so that they can refer back to it while reading the e-mail.

You never really did answer this questions back in April. Do I need to save
the attachment to my computer, then attach it to the reply?

seems silly...but I guess you could use Forward instead of Reply that will
keep the attachment.
