Forward an email as an attachment
in Gmail (Web)
gmail.com in the browser
โ Directly possible
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 Open gmail.com in the browser and open the suspicious email.
-
2
Click the three-dot menu
โฎin the top right of the opened message. - 3 Choose "Forward as attachment".

Enter
spam-check-en@moin-moin.itas the recipient and click "Send".
Forwarding address
spam-check-en@moin-moin.it
You'll receive an automatic assessment shortly after. ยท My terms of use apply. terms of use (DE)
Doesn't work? You can also forward the suspicious email normally โ the analysis will then be less conclusive, since I'm missing the technical headers. I therefore always recommend forwarding as an attachment whenever possible.
