Forward emails as attachments via Gmail

Forward emails as attachments via Gmail

If you want to forward one or more emails to someone, you can do that one by one. It is more convenient to send them all as an attachment in one email.


Forwarding an email is easy via the ‘Forward’ option in Gmail. The downside is that someone can edit those emails before forwarding. This is useful if you want to omit parts of it because they are not of interest to the next recipient. Conversely, you cannot see for yourself whether a forwarded message to you is original or modified.

If it is important that the e-mails arrive elsewhere unchanged, attach them to an e-mail. The recipient clicks on the attachment(s) and sees the emails unchanged in their original state.

In Gmail it works like this:

  • Open www.gmail.com and log in with your email address and password.
  • Check the boxes for all emails you want to add to the new message.
  • Click the button with the three dots above the list of emails.
  • click on Forward as attachment.
  • A new, empty message opens. The selected e-mails are attached at the bottom of the empty e-mail. Enter the recipient’s email address, subject, and content of the email in the appropriate fields.
  • click on Send.
