forward as attachment

[Jeff]

Outlook Express has a "forward as attachment" option in the Message menu.
Outlook does not. Why is that? Is there a way to get a "forward as
attachment" option in Outlook 2002? I need it for spamcop. Clicking and
dragging an email into another email doesn't work with spamcop.

That's one way, problem is I don't always want to forward mail as an
attachment. The only time I want to do it is when I get spam. All other
emails I usually forward as text. In Outlook Express, I can select 10 spam
emails and then click on "forward as attachment" Now that I have Outlook
2002, I'd like to be able to do the same thing. Is this possible?

Highlight the messages in your inbox (or other folder)you want to forward
right click any one of them & copy Open a new e-mail & paste. They should be
listed as attachements in the new e-mail

I did that and for some reason, it doesn't work with spamcop. In Outlook
2002, if I copy and paste multiple spam emails into a new message and send
it to spamcop.net, I get the following error:

SpamCop encountered errors while saving spam for processing:
SpamCop could not find your spam message in this email:

In Outlook Express, when I highlight those same multiple spam emails and
click "foward as attachment" and send it to spamcop, it accepts it no
problem and sends the spam reports to the appropriate network
administrators.

Thanks for trying to help me with this, it's much appreciated.

I'm not sure it's going to work with spamcop, eml's are plain text messages
and outlook messages aren't. You can try selecting two messages and
forwarding - this creates a forward as attachment. Delete the extra and
send.

Can you send the message source in the body? You can use VBA or PocketKnife
Peek to easily get the message source for pasting in the message.
