What’s changing

You can now attach emails to other emails in Gmail without downloading them first.

*To insert emails in a new subject, drag and drop them into the draft window.*

*Another way to insert emails in a new subject is to select the emails and then from the overflow menu (three dots), select Forward as attachment*

*To reply to an existing thread, you can pop out the compose window and then drag and drop an email to it.*

Why you’d use it

Google has heard from customers that there are situations where attaching emails makes more sense than forwarding separate emails, like wanting to forward multiple messages related to a subject. With this new function, you can do exactly that. Sending an email as an attachment allows you to write a summary email message to recipients and attach a supporting email set that recipients can directly open in their mail client.
