Why isn't there a Forward All like Reply All in outlook? Duh!!! It is
sometimes frustration to re-attach the attachments or copy and paste using
the Reply All.

One good reason is that in a reply, Outlook already has a list of addresses.
In a forward, however, since it is a new message, there is no preexisting
list of addresses, and since Outlook has no "read my mind" add-in, how do
you expect Outlook to know to whom you wish to forward the message?

If I understand what you want, you could try one of two approaches: 1)
choose Reply All, right-click the address list and choose Copy. Close the
reply window. Now forward the message and paste the address list intot he
appropriate recipient field. or 2) open the message so that it is displayed.
Then go back to the Inbox and click Reply All to open another compose
window. Now just drag the attachment from the open original message to the
compose window and drop it there.

Remember, though, that if you received an attachment on a message, so did
all the other recipients. You appear to want to be able to forward that
same attachment back to all the people who already received it. Why would
you want to do that, since they already have it?

This is to Brian's question of "Why would you want to send the attachment
back to everyone who has already received it: The answer: You made a change
to the doc and everyone needs to see that change!

That's a reply, then, and you simply drag your changed document back to the
compose window.

Ok, I see your point and I hadn't thought of that. Still, it would nice to
offer that as an email option along with the other options for reply like
indent original, include original, include attachement....
