copy email object to outlook clipboard

when having email Messages open in Outlook 2013 (in reading mode) that I'd like to Forward to somebody else as an embedded attachment, i always have to find the original mail again before being able to attach it in a new or existing message or appointment or ...

Much like the 'Forward as attachment'-button under 'home > message > respond > more > Forward as attachment' I'd like to copy the current mail to the clipboard. This way i can add the object to any new Messages/appointments/etc.

Other Forum entries only copy the Body of the mail e.g.:

I'd like to have the complete object in though.

is there anybody that can help me finding the correct Expression for that? i figured if i Change the "M.HTMLBody" in the below code to something like object I'd be golden.

Sub Test()
    Dim M As MailItem, Buf As MSForms.DataObject

    Set M = ActiveExplorer().Selection.item(1)
    Set Buf = New MSForms.DataObject
    Buf.SetText M.HTMLBody
    Buf.PutInClipboard

End Sub

many thanks in advance!

Why would you want to copy anything to the clipboard? You can attach any message to another message by calling MailItem.Attachments.Add.
