Send button grayed out when forwarding emails received as attachme

[robbieg]

A colleague has sent me some draft emails as attachments to a message. When I
open the attachments to revise the emails before sending, the send button is
greyed out. Even entering an address does not fix this.

Any ideas what I can do??

Thanks in advance

Move the attachment to your Draft folder first. Then open it from the Drafts
folder and you the Send button will become active.

Brilliant. Thank you. Now why didn't I think of that???

Seems to me this is a work around for a problem rather than expected
behaviour but at least someone has a response.

Thanks again, Robert (BTW, great name)

Or you can just forward the email.

1. You receive and e-mail that has an attached e-mail message.
2. Open the attached e-mail message by double-clicking it's icon located in
the Attached: text box.
3. Forward the message by clicking the Forward button or pressing Ctrl+F.

You can now send the message.
