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?
