New feature on Gmail: Here is the forwarding as e-mail, and how it works

Gmail has just announced a new feature that is useful when you need to forward more than one email in the same message. Forwarding as an attachment on the Google email client also works in drag-and-drop mode: here are all the details.

Gmail users enrolled in G Suite will receive a new feature in the coming days that will allow them to add a new type of attachment to emails. The novelty can be understood as a sort of extension to the typical method for forwarding e-mails to other users, as well as it can be easily deduced from the name: ” Forward as an attachment “.

Forwarding as an attachment offers the indisputable advantage of making it easier not just to forward a single email, but to send a series of emails at the same time without having to download them. If you want to compile a list of messages around a topic, you can select all the emails to be included in the list and send them within a single message. The feature also supports drag-and-drop from the user’s message list.

Once the emails have been attached to a message they will be viewed as .eml files, and there will be no limit on the number of messages that can be stacked within an email. The e-mails sent with the new function will be seen by the recipient as simple attachments: by clicking on them, the messages will be opened in a new window so that the original message can always be easily reached.

The new feature will be available on all G Suite accounts, and will not require any action from the account administrators. Submission as an attachment is already being distributed on all Rapid Release domains, with the operation that will require up to a maximum of 15 days of waiting for the users of the release channel.
