Outlook attachments

Is there a way of attaching an attachment from another email by dragging it? I've tried and it doesn't seem to work. Using Insert Item just attaches the whole email.

RE: Outlook attachments

Dear Diana

Thank you for attending Outlook Introduction course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

If you are using one of the web based e-mail such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Googlemail, etc... then it will do what you have described. The main reason is that when the file is an attached in these e-mail it needs to be downloaded therefore drag and drop doesn't work.

But I am sure you must have tried the dragging and dropping method for the files in your My Documents or network drive and it seems to work fine because Outlook assumes them to be already downloaded.

The only suggestion I can provide you is to download the attachment to your desired destination and then use the drag and drop method.

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards
