Forward an email as an attachment
in Proton Mail (Web)
mail.proton.me in the browser
β οΈ 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 Open the suspicious email in Proton Mail.
-
2
Click the three-dot menu
β―in the top right. -
3
Choose "Download" β the message is saved as an
.emlfile. -
4
Write a new, empty email to
spam-check-en@moin-moin.it. -
5
Attach the saved
.emlfile and send it.
π‘ Tip: If you use Proton Bridge, you can open your mailbox in Thunderbird and forward the email conveniently as an attachment from there.
