Kutools for Outlook

Outlook natively does not support replying to emails with the original attachments included. Recognizing this limitation, Kutools for Outlook has developed a feature named "Reply with Original Attachments". This innovative function simplifies the process of including attachments in your replies. By simply selecting the email you wish to respond to and activating this feature, any attachments from the original email are automatically added to your reply.
