Attach the mail item to another mail

When we are sending the important mail with attachments that could be the proof of something, we will create a document with proof content and attach with mail. What if the proof is another mail? What will you do? You will copy the content from the mail and paste to another text file and attach it. This is the usual way. Also, the mail proof will lose its soul. Rather than copy and paste, you can directly attach the mail item to another mail that is you trying to send to your peer to prove something right.
