I have looked through this group and done web searches and it appears that I can not easily attach an email to a new message. I have seen several "workarounds", but they are basically kludges that may be usable when attaching one or two messages, but are unworkable if I wish to pass on 5, or 10, or 20 messages.
Why might I want to attach many messages? The simple case is to send several communications to bring someone up-to-speed on a discussion I have been having, In this case I might be willing, if the issue is important enough, to slog through a workaround.. But what if I have a larger case where I want to transfer a project to a colleague. They need to have available the background correspondence connected to the project. There may be dozens (or hundreds) of messages spread over several months or years. What do I do? What I need to be able to do is mark them and send them and maintain their character as mail. How would I do this in Gmail? I have looked through this group and done web searches and it appears that I can not easily attach an email to a new message.

It is likely that the correspondence will contain attachments necessary for understanding the project. There may be dozens (or hundreds) of messages spread over several months or years. What do I do?
