How to Forward Emails as Attachments by Default in Outlook

When a message is forwarded in Outlook, the forwarded email appears in the body of the new message. If you don't want a forwarded email to be quoted in the message, forward the email as an attachment. Normally you would choose this option each time you forward a message, but you can set up Outlook to attach forwarded emails as an EML file automatically each time you forward a message.
