Attaching an email to another email in Gmail can be a useful way to share important conversations or information with others. While Gmail doesn’t have a direct “attach email” feature, there are still ways to achieve this. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to attach a mail in Gmail:
1. Open Gmail and Compose a New Email
Start by opening Gmail and clicking on the “Compose” button to create a new email where you want to attach the mail.
2. Open the Email You Want to Attach
Next, open the email that you want to attach to the new email. You can do this by double-clicking on the email in your inbox.
3. Click on the More Options
Within the email you want to attach, look for the three vertical dots (more options) typically located in the top right corner of the email. Click on it to reveal a dropdown menu.
4. Choose “Forward as Attachment”
From the dropdown menu, select the option that says “Forward as Attachment”. This will create a new email with the selected email attached to it.
5. Fill in the Recipient and Message Details
Once the new email with the attached email is open, fill in the recipient’s email address in the “To” field and add a subject and message as needed.
6. Review and Send the Email
Before sending the email, double-check to ensure that the attached email is displayed correctly. Once you are satisfied, click on the “Send” button to send the email.
7. Verify Email Attachment
After sending the email, you can verify that the email attachment was successful by checking the sent email in the “Sent” folder.
8. Alternatives Methods
If forwarding the email as an attachment is not suitable, you can also copy the contents of the email and paste it into the body of the new email as an alternative method.
9. Using Gmail Offline
If you are using Gmail offline, you can still attach an email by following similar steps as mentioned above, even without an internet connection.
10. Reception of the Attached Email
When the recipient receives the email with the attached mail, they can download the attached email to view the contents separately.
11. Ensure Security and Privacy
When attaching sensitive information via email, ensure that the email is encrypted or password-protected to maintain security and privacy.
12. Conclusion
Attaching a mail in Gmail may not be as straightforward as attaching a file, but with the simple steps outlined above, you can easily share important emails with others. Make sure to follow the steps carefully to ensure a smooth attachment process.
