Resolution:

Outlook On The Web:

• Log into OWA
• Click New       
  
• Click the icon on the top right of the new message window to open it in a new window:
  
• Organize your browser windows so that you can view both your mail folder listing and this message window.
• Drag the email, from your mail folder list, that you want to include in the message you are composing. It will be included as an attachment. Important: If you are currently in Conversation view, all the messages within the conversation will be attached. If you only want a specific message to be attached, change your view to Messages then attach.
