| | Using attachments of an older email with new email In outlook express, it was possible to open an older email having attachments and then drag/drop the attachments to a new email being composed. It wasn't required to first save attachments of the older email to disk and then attach to the email being composed. This saves some time and disk space. But in WLM, somehow this doesn't work. Any work-around? |

Press Ctrl key and Hold, press A key.

| | Re: Using attachments of an older email with new email If you have attachments from more than one e-mail, you have to save them and then attach. No any other way. t-4-2 "RWilson" <RWilson@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0DA0BD6E-F047-4D95-87D4-E5B76943E5E6@xxxxxx Quote: > ? > What if I have to incroporate attachments from many old emails to a new > email? > > "t-4-2" wrote: > Quote: >> 1.
