Office 365, Email, Exchange, Forwarding Email Messages as an Attachment

A common reason to forward messages as an attachment is to report suspected phishing email.  Forwarding as an attachment preserves helpful diagnostic information, which is lost when simply forwarding the email.

4. Click "Send."
