MIG 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnarlymarley 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIG 0 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIG 0 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnarlymarley 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
