Thomas hit the nail on the head. If you're unable to remember the key stroke, it's also available in Outlook 2007 in an open message via Other Actions > Forward as Attachment. Cheers! Christopher M.

Normally what I do is to First close the message (to be attached) and Second drag it to the body of a new message. Often I ended up copy the message to my desktop and then attach it from there. Is there a way to attach an existing message to a new message all in one step?
