I send a number of emails in a day with the same subject line but to
different recipients.
When I follow up some days or weeks later, I want to attach a copy of the
original email to the individual recipient to the new, follow up email to
that person.
When I tryto do this using the "Attach Item" icon, the drop down look up
list only shows the "From" information (always me), date & subject- I cannot
tell which was to this recipient-and can't find a way to add the "TO" field
to the display

Sometimes, I can do what I did with 2003- highlight the old email in the
list in the file where it is saved, click Edit and Copy, and then click
"Paste" while the cursor is in the body of the new message(I did that several
times earlier today). But sometimes, - as in the last few minutes (andfor no
reason that I can figure out) -instead of attaching the old email as an
attachment, clicking "Paste" simply causes the highlighted information (date,
to, from, etc.) to be inserted at the location of the cursor in the new email
message.

Help!

Locate the message in your Send Items folder or wherever and then drag and
drop that item in your new email.

Thank you, but I can't seem to make that work (I have never used "Drag &
Drop" very much-and maybe just don't know how). I will check with my IT
person tomorrow & maybe she can show me how- but she has not been able to
tell mw how to change the display of the Look In List, or to tell me why the
copy/paste method sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't.
