How to Forward an Email as an Attachment in Microsoft Outlook

Posted: 03 Dec 2020 06:13 AM PST

Instead of forwarding several emails individually, you can send them all at once as attachments. You can do this with both Microsoft Outlook's native desktop client and the online web app. Here's how to forward emails as attachments in both.

Before we begin, note that this feature isn't available in the Outlook mobile app for iPhone, iPad, or Android or on Outlook in mobile browsers.

Forward an Email as an Attachment Using Outlook's Desktop Client

You can attach an email to a new email (or to an email you're replying to) using Microsoft Outlook's native desktop app for Windows and Mac.

To do so, launch "Outlook" and then select the email you want to forward as an attachment by clicking it in the email list.

select email from the list in the outlook app

Next, in the "Respond" group of the "Home" tab, click "More" and then select "Forward As Attachment" from the drop-down menu.

Once selected, a new compose window will appear with the previously selected email as an attachment.

Alternatively, if you want to reply to an email with another email as an attachment, click the email from the email list you'd like to reply to and then click the "Reply" button.

Reply to email button

Next, drag and drop the email you would like to attach to the body of the reply email from the list.

Click and drag email to body of new email

The email is now attached to the reply email.

Forward Emails as Attachments by Default

If you want Microsoft Outlook to attach an email to a new email by default whenever you click the "Forward" button of an email, it's as simple as turning the setting on.

Open the "Outlook" app on your computer and click the "File" tab.

File tab

Select "Options" from the left-hand pane.

Options option

The "Outlook Options" window will appear. Here, click the "Mail" tab.

Next, select the arrow next to the "When Forwarding a Message" option in the "Replies and Forwards" section, and then click "Attach Original Message" from the drop-down menu.

Finally, select "OK" in the bottom-right corner of the window to apply the changes.

The next time you click the "Forward" button in an email, a new email will appear with that email attached.

If you prefer to use Outlook on the web instead of the native app, you can still forward emails as attachments, but the steps are a bit different.

Forward an Email as an Attachment Using Outlook's Web App

Unlike Microsoft Outlook's desktop client, there are no clickable options for forwarding emails as attachments in the web app, but you can still do it using the drag-and-drop method.

Open your web browser, navigate to the Outlook website and then log in to your Outlook account. Once logged in, you can either click "New Message" in the top-left corner of the window to draft a new email…

Create a new email button

…or select an email to reply to with an email as an attachment by clicking the email and then choosing "Reply."

Reply to an email in outlook steps

No matter if you are replying to an email or creating a new one, the next step is the same. Just locate the email you would like to add as an attachment from the list of emails and then drag and drop the email to the body of the new email.

All that's left to do now is add the recipient (if it's a new email), type out a reply, and send the message on its way.


If you find yourself typing the same email over and over again, you can always create and use an email template to speed up the process.

How to Connect Google Pay to Your Bank or Credit Card to Track Spending

Posted: 02 Dec 2020 10:30 AM PST

Google Pay is the company's one-stop-shop for all things related to your finances. It's a very powerful service if you use all of its features. One handy feature is the ability to add your bank or credit card to track spending.

The financial feature is similar in concept to services such as Mint and Simplifi. You connect Google Pay to your bank account or a credit card and the service will keep track of your spending and provide insights. If you're already a Google Pay user, it makes sense to do this in the Google Pay app as well.

RELATED: What Is Google Pay, and What Can You Do With It?

To get started, make sure that you have the correct Google Pay app for iPhone or Android installed. This feature does not work with the "old" Google Pay app that was replaced in late 2020.

Open the Google Pay app on your iPhone or Android device and go to the "Insights" tab. If this is your first time using Google Pay, you will be asked to sign in to your Google account first.

Next, tap the "Add an Account" button.

The next screen will explain that Google is using a service called "Plaid" to link your bank or credit card account. Tap "Accept & Sign In" to proceed.

select accept and sign in

Plaid will now ask you to agree to its Privacy Policy before proceeding. Tap "Continue" if you agree.

tap continue to agree to the privacy policy

Use the search box at the top of the screen to find your bank or credit card provider. Select it from the list.

You'll be brought to a login page where you can enter your credentials to link the account.

The sign-in process may be different depending on your specific bank or credit card account. Follow the steps until you're fully connected and the account has been added.

Once the account has been connected to Google Pay, you'll see data appear in the "You Have" and "You Spent" section. This gives you a quick overview of your monetary situation.

The top blue section will show you more information about your recent spending, linking you to charts and more. If they don't populate immediately, Google Pay hasn't had enough time to track your spending habits.
