This is in Notes 8.5 environment.

I just wanted to know how to attach an email to another email as real attachment not a "Document Link".

I intended to attach an email, so I drag & dropped an email to another email's body but this turned out to be a "Document Link". This is an issue when I deleted the original attachment(an email in this case) and want to open the attachment again.

Tried to drag & drop the email to desktop and attach that through the "Choose file" dialog, didn't work either.

So how can I do that? I'm trying to get the attachment programmatically.

The only way I know is this:

Reassure that preferences | Basic Notes Client configuration | Drag and drop saves as eml file is checked

1) Drag your email to e.g. your desktop or to an explorer instance (will be saved as an eml file).
2) Attach this file to your opened email by either selecting it with the paperclip menu item or drag 'n drop the file into the opened email.
