In order to forward messages as attachments in Outlook, you will need to change your software preferences.

To change your preferences, click the Tools menu and select Options:

Outlook - Select the Tools menu and choose Options

 

Select E-mail Options... from the Preferences tab:

Outlook - Choose E-mail options under the Preferences tab

 

Change the forwarding option to 'Attach original message':

Outlook - Change the option for when forwarding a message

Then click OK and on the next screen click OK again to complete the process.

Address your email to either spam@spamtraining.plus.com or notspam@spamtraining.plus.com as required and send the message.
