Who’s impacted?

End users

Attaching emails makes more sense than forwarding separate emails, like wanting to forward multiple messages related to a single topic. With this new functionality, you can do exactly that. Sending emails as attachments allows you to write a summary email message to your recipients, and attach the set of supporting emails that recipients can directly open in their mail client. 

How to get started?

  • Admins: No action required.
  • End users: You’ll know this feature is available to you when you see the “Forward as attachment” option in the three-dot More menu. Click HERE if you need more info.
When emails are sent as an attachment: 
  • The attached email becomes a .eml file.
  • You can attach as many emails as you’d like.
  • When you click on a .eml email attachment, it will open in a new window.
