Since the inception of the concept of adding attachments to email messages, multiple aspects have derived from it, and to some extent, the challenges and potential issues that come associated with it, pertain mostly to replying to or forwarding message content. For example, when relying on the Microsoft Outlook email client, when wanting to reply or reply to all email messages that contain attachments, users will have to manually add them. ReplyWithAtt addresses such issues.

This specialized Outlook add-on was created in order to offer users the means to retain the associated email message attachments when replying or replying to all and it will automatically include the original attachments in the messages.

The add-on will not add any dedicated features or buttons to Outlook’s functionality. Instead, it will alter the behavior of the existing, “Reply” and “Reply All” buttons. When using these functions on messages with attachments, the add-on will automatically add the attachments.

As with most Outlook add-ons, users will be able to find ReplyWithAtt in the COM Add-ins section of their installation, where they can manage it accordingly. Users will have to ensure that the add-on is checked in its corresponding section, in order for it to function properly.
