MIG Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Hello Gnarlymarley, well you said it loud enough for me to hear Re your method, are you speaking about https://outlook.live.com/mail/ or app based Outlook mail? I've just tried via web based mail, not possible. Will try app based & update... Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlymarley Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The method I was speaking of for forward-as-attachment is for the outlook windows application. Webmail might not be able to do it because the windows application is using the windows explorer drag-and-drop. ActiveX was an "attempt" to enable this. According to microsoft.com there is no way to do this without a separate application. Which is why I started using program called fetchmail over imap and a perl scri_pt to embed the email into an attachment over a decade ago.

MIG Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Hi GnarlyMarly, using web Outlook Mail - no go, using Outlook 2016 app/windows - no go, using (MS) Mail and Calendar, no go. Process: create email, select spam mail (to drag & drop) - immediately closes the draft email - none of these allow "drag & drop", having said that I'm not sure I'm using the same " outlook windows application " you've referred to; which "outlook windows application" specifically are you referring to? Re "started using program called fetchmail over imap and a perl scri_pt to embed the email into an attachment", cor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlymarley Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 1 hour ago, MIG said: which "outlook windows application" specifically are you referring to? I currently use outlook 2010 at work. It also worked for me in outlook 2003 a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIG Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi GnaarlyMarly, thanks, however, hmmm, I'm not so attached to OL to much around installing OL2010/2003, in fact, I'm close to giving OL the boot. I don't get spam with (Seamonkey/Gmail/Yahoo), generally I muck around with OL to burn as many spammers as possible, but, dog says I'd be better off spending time with her, she's never wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlymarley Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I also have done the drag and drop method in thunderbird in the past, but I find it actually supports the forward as attachment. Thanks for the heads up for when I they force the new OL junk on me in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobiBue Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 In other words: he probably jinxed it... now someone at outlook will “fix” that “working flaw” 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danorton Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 There is a bug in spamcop whereby it will interpret a header line containing only a single space character as an empty line. (cf. RFC 5322 Sec 2.1) A workaround is to remove the header line(s) containing only a space character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
