Outlook 2003 - Sending Email

Send One E-Mail Inside Another

SUMMARY: Refer your recipient to an earlier e-mail when sending messages with Outlook 2003.

There may be situations when sending e-mail in Outlook 2003 where you need to attach copies of previous e-mail messages. Perhaps you need to write a report of a conversation between several colleagues, or you may need to provide a new employee information previously found in earlier e-mails. To do this:

1. Start composing an e-mail message.

2. Choose "Insert" - "Item".

3. The "Insert Item" dialog box will appear. Choose the radio button to insert the items - such as e-mail attachments, journal entries, or meeting requests - as attachments or just to insert the text contained in the items ("Text Only").

4. Browse through your folders and select the item(s) to insert.

5. Click "OK".
