Replying to an email while adding an attachment? ***?

Maybe I am being obtuse, but when I try to reply to an email and want to include an attachement with my reply, why is there no option to do this? This seems like a farily BASIC funtion of any email program. I hope I am missing something, because if the iPhone can't do something as basic as this... Man, its got serious problems.
I'm already annoyed that it doesn't allow you to save attachments onto the phone itself in a file tree, but to not be able to reply to someone's e-mail with a saved attachment (whether it be a pic, doc, pdf, etc...)
(Example: "Hey what was the name of that restaurant we were at tonight? Also, can you send me that pic we took at the table?")
As of now, I have to find that picture, tell it I want to compose a NEW email, then answer the question in the body of the email. Why couldn't you just "reply" attach the photo in question, and answer the email like you would any other email (that didn't require an attachment?)
This seems extremely short-sighted on Apple's part.. I mean, come on -- even a Blackberry has these basic functions.
Am I wrong, or are they missing something really basic here?

Thanks for the workaround... Not ecxactly the most efficient way to do something as basic as reply and adding an attachment, but it does work.
For the life of me, I don't understand why you can't save items to a personal folder on the hard drive, which you can then access whenever you need to. I think Apple makes thing WAY more complicated then they need to be.

  • How to attach Documents when replying to an Email.

    I have found ways to add attachments such as Word Docs when I create new Emails (third party app), but can’t seem to find a way to add an attachment when I am replying to an email sent to me.  Is there a way to do this in the native app or does someone know of a third party app capable of this.  I have been looking for a while and have found no way to do this, which I consider very basic functionality in an Email client.
    The scenario is that I was on the road and a recruiter sent me an email requesting a copy of my resume.  I had it in Word format on the phone (third party app), but there was no way to add the Doc to my reply. The third party app only allowed outbound emails.  I could not view/reply to an inbound email from the app and the native client did not seem to have a way to add attachments (except an image). This was a nuisance because the only way I could work around this was to create a new Email with the attachment, save it as a Draft and copy everything from his email peace by peace into the Draft before sending it.  This also required adding him to my contacts, because I could not copy his address out of the client to paste into the draft.
    Note: I also tried copying the contents out of the draft into my reply.  This looked at first like it would work but what the recruiter received was a word icon, instead of the actual document I had attached to the draft.

    that's impossible, sorry. the best you can do is set up a fancy signature which will also function as a stationery template.

    How can i reply to an email and attach a file to it?

    Tell Apple. We're just fellow users here and can't control a thing. The sandboxed nature of the iPad, which also means a lack of an overall file manager is what keeps viruses from spreading and improves the stability of the system as a whole. And it's that lack of a file manager system that means you can't just attach something to an e-mail.
    What I'd do, reply to the person, i'm sending the attachment next, do that and you're done. 2 e-mails sure but you've accomplished what you need to do.

  • Received an email with attachment when I replied to the email; i can no longer view the attachement

    When replying to an email with attachment, later when I need to review the attachedment, it can't and just gives a file name <????.pdf> i tried to search my downloads and documents for the file pdf but cant be located.
    It seems that attachments are lost when you reply to an email?
    Look forward to resolving this problem with Lion

    Try a reset ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • If I want to reply to an email and attach a file-how do I do it?

    If I want to reply to an email and attach a file how do i do it?

    It depends what file you want to attach. For photo's, tap and hold any photo on the web, tap copy, then hold a blank space on an email, and tap paste.
    For other documents, you may need an app. For example, in the Pages application, there is a feature to email a document. Search the App Store.
    Hope this helps,

  • I added an image as a signature which works great if a compose a email, however, the image signature is not added when I reply to an email?

    I've added a image as a signature when a set up my email account. This image is successfully added when I compose a new email. When I reply to an email, the image is not added and I have to copy it manually from a newly composed email. I assumed that there should be a way around this?

    Goto Account Settings and look under the section Composition & Addressing. There are two tick boxes for including signatures in replies and forwards.

    You can send an photo from the photos section via E-mail but you can't go into the mail and send anything as an attachment.

  • Replying to a previous email thread with an attachment

    This seems like a really dumb question to me, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I reply to previous email thread, shouldn't I be able to add an attachment? Or can you only add attachments on brand new emails?

    Hi
    You can do that using workflow.
    Using workflow you can send the mail in SAP Inbox and recipient can open the mail from his/her SAP Inbox.
    You can do it programmatically also:

  • Bold 9000: problem while adding email address to TO:

    Hi Guys!!
    I am facing a problem while adding email addresses (whcih are already stored in my BB Bold 9000). while adding "To: or CC:" only 1 email stored contact is displayed. others are not.
    please help me some solution.
    regards
    Thanks & regards
    Ajay Jain

    If I understand you correctly, while adding email addresses to any particular email IDs you're can't see multiple email IDs. Email addresses are stored under the contact names. You can save multiple email address under one contact. Now while putting name in To/CC field you should be typing the names of the contact and when pressing/selecting names you would be prompted with multiple email addresses.
    Try this -
    When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which minor issues with the BlackBerry device.
