How can we improve your Desktop Outlook 2016 experience?

← Outlook for Windows (Desktop application)

Forward\Reply\Reply All with attachments included in Microsoft Outlook 2016

In Microsoft Outlook 2016, when we forward\reply\reply all to the email with attachments, the attachments are not available and we have to attach them manually. An option to reply all to the email with all the attachments included would be more productive in Microsoft Outlook 2016 as that option is not available as of now.

    It should be an option. If you reply all and add people to the chain you have to copy and paste the file or save it. It is also easier to be able to attach the file and not ask people to look through dozens of emails to see the original file.

    THIS SHOULD BE AN OPTION!!! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE DEFAULT. When there is a long thread with multiple people it's annoying to keep having to save the file and attach it or forward and add all the people back to the message.

    Frustrating to reply and add someone new to an email and forget to copy and paste the attachment again. would rather delete the attachment if not needed

    HAVING THE ATTACHMENT NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPLY IS ABSURD! WHY WAS THIS FUNCTION OR EVEN THE OPTION IN SETTINGS TO ALLOW IT TAKEN AWAY- THAT PERSON SHOULD BE FIRED. MY ENTIRE COMPANY THINKS ITS A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE "NEW" WAY

    Just google for the add-in named "ReplyWithAtt for Outlook".

    Yes, please add this as an options. Too many extra strokes to create new email with attachments when replying

    add attachments need it...painful and time consuming otherwise.

    I would like the reply all option to include any attachments that were in the original message.

    It just makes sense to have the attachment file attached to a reply. Rather than having to attach the file again, it makes more sense to automatically attach it and then the user can always remove the attachment if they want to .

    I often find myself forwarding sent emails to include attachments or to establish a chain of conversation, when if the attachment could just be included in a reply email, it would save a lot of extra steps that waste a ton of time!

    When replying to someone who has sent an attachment it is important to keep the file attached so it's readily available when making reference to it. People don't just SEND attachments and are done w/them; more often than not they are sent and DISCUSSED in back and forth emails. It was a terrible idea to terminate this feature. Awful.
