Forward an email as an attachment
in Apple Mail (iPhone / iPad)

Mail app on iOS / iPadOS

⚠️ Only possible via a workaround
Why "as an attachment"? This is the only way the invisible technical headers of the original email are preserved. I need exactly those to reliably verify the sender and authenticity. Regular forwarding loses this data.

Step by step

  1. 1 The Mail app on the iPhone doesn't offer a "Forward as Attachment" function.
  2. 2 It's best to open the same mailbox on a computer – in the Mail app on the Mac or in the browser via your provider's webmail interface.
  3. 3 Follow the relevant guide there for "forward as attachment".
💡 Tip: On the iPad there's a trick: write a new email to spam-check-en@moin-moin.it, open the mail list in split view and drag and drop the suspicious email into the body of the new email – it gets attached automatically.
