What ways can I attach other existing emails to an outgoing email?

[Walter Cohen]

Hello.
I'd like to be able to attach several (10) existing emails to an email to be
sent and I don't know the best way to do it, other than one way. I have
Vista Home Premium and, therefore, Windows Mail.

I know I can drag-n-drop the existing email into the outgoing email and it
attaches as an "*.eml" file. I don't know the mail program used by my
intended recipients. Would any email program (including Yahoo, Hotmail,
etc) be able to read *.eml attachments?
I was also thinking of zipping all 10 emails and attaching a single file to
my email. This might make the resulting outgoing email smaller but then I
run the risk of some email programs rejecting the *.zip attachment and I
still don't know if everyone can read the *.eml files.

Thanks,
Walter

I think I've read that many non-Microsoft email programs are unable to
open .eml files.

If you are not sure whether all of your recipients can handle
..eml attachments, then the only other solution is to copy
and paste all those 10 emails into the body of the new email.

If they are plain text messages they can be read with Notepad or any other
text editor.
