I need to send a series of emails from different people to someone else, hopefully as attachments but I'll be damned if I can work out how to download them in any way, everytime I attempt to "save as" or anything like that it's the complete web page, so, is there a way I can attach an email/s to send to someone else without just forwarding them individually?
 
If you're using Outlook it can be done using the "attach item" option.

No idea if you're just using a web based mail platform I'm afraid,
 
as DCB says...if using Outlook you can literally drag and drop the e-mails into the one you're composing. Again with web based.....not a Scooby I'm afraid.
 
I've done it before on a macbook, i think if you highlight the e-mails you want to send & then right click & forward it opens a new e-mail & pits the highlighted ones into it as attachments.
 
Using Gmail guys and there doesn't look to be a way, looks like he's going to be bombarded with a series of forwarded emails, hey ho.

Thanks for the replies :thup:

  • Open the email you want to send as an attachment.
  • Click on the small Printer icon above the Reply button.
  • In the Print pop up box, select Change under Destination and choose Save to Drive from the Google Cloud Print section.
  • Press Save – this will save your email as a PDF under My Drive. You can repeat these steps to save as many emails as you need to.
  • Now open a new Compose window and select the Insert Files using Drive icon by hovering over the Paperclip and clicking the small Drive icon.
  • Choose My Drive from the left menu and find your new PDF – it should be the first in the list.
  • Your email will appear as a link in the body of your email and is automatically shared with the recipient (you can change these rights in a pop up window before sending the email).
Hot Tip – to send your email as a true attachment, use the Save as PDF option from the Print pop up box to save the email as a PDF to your hard drive then attach as normal.
