The story of 2 emails

Did you know that you can attach an email to tam 10+ two different ways?


As you can see they are both the same email but they have different icons which means they were attached differently and since they were they will act differently.

The top email was attached via drag and drop and the bottom email was attached via the attachment menu.

Now you ask what is the difference?



The drag and dropped email keeps its outlook style and allows you to view the html and reply or forward the message just like if it were still in your outlook.
1. Keeps the message the same as it was in outlook.
2. Allows you to reply or forward the message even after you delete it out of outlook. (You have to reattach the forward or reply though it wont auto attach.)
3. You can select multiple emails and attach them all at once. 


This is the menu style of attaching.
1. It converts your email to text.
2. You can reply but its not as easy.  (You have to retype email address)
3. You lose all formatting options.
4.  It can auto attach when you send it.





This is the attach box on the menu attaching style.
1. It doesnt allow grouping
2. You cant attach multiple emails at once.
3. You lose formatting.









This is the attach box when you drag and drop an email.
1. Looks just like the attach file box.
2. Allows multiple attachments at once. (See prev and next at top left)
3. You can give each file its own cat subcat and description.




So you can decide which way works better for you or which end result you prefer.
