On occasion, it may become necessary or desirable to forward an e-mail to someone else as an attachment. In particular, faculty, staff, and students are strongly encouraged to use this method for reporting spam or phishing to abuse@uwgb.edu. Doing so provides a host of useful information about where the message came from and how it got to UWGB.

Desktop Outlook:
1. Select the e-mail you wish to forward as an attachment from the message list
