I have recently been in a discussion with a tech support person about

I couldn't find how to do that, apart from actually finding the file
and attaching it that way. When I pressed 'a' to attach and then '?'
for a list I had a list of my folders up, but mutt wouldn't let me enter
them and gave a 'couldn't attach <dirname>' error.
Is there a way of doing this?
I have no idea if the following is good advice or not, but I'll mention
it and let you investigate, unless the other method works well for you.
You can "bounce" an email with the "b" key. The advantage of this is
that I believe the recipient will see the email just as you saw it. i.e.
all of the headers will be the same. When you attach an email (as per
the other solution), I'm not sure the headers are preserved. The
disadvantage is that the email will look strange if the person is not
expecting it (because the To: header will be to you!), so you should
always warn the recipient (in my case, usually a tech team).
Best,

In this case I had to attach one email to another and send it back to
the tech support person, so using the 'A' to attach is perfect.
