Attaching an open email message to another message

[B Mat]

Hello,

If I have opened a message (call it message-1) by some means (say from
some desktop search application) and i'm composing another message
(say, message-2), is there some easy way to attach message-1 to
message-2? Currently, the only way I know of doing this is to find the
Outlook folder where message-1 lives, hunt for message-1 there, and
then drag it into message-2. If I already have message-1 opened, is
there some shortcut to getting it into message-2?

Thanks!

No, whether message-1 is open or not has nothing to do with how you attach it to message-2.

Thanks, Sue.

A feature request for the future would be to have some icon in the
window displaying
message-1 that can be dragged into message-2, so message-1 can be
easily attached.
(Similar to how the IE icon can be dragged from the address bar of
Internet Explorer to
create shortcuts.)

Anyone at Microsoft listening?
