I have Outlook 2016 and experience that when starting on reply to an incoming e-mail, that e-mail changes status to Draft. Then any attachments becomes unavailable during the writing of the reply. My collegue told me to click on the Disconnect button on the message header, then the original e-mail be restored to the original form.


Is there any setting for not making this Draft-status on the incoming e-mail when doing a reply?

When you click Reply you activate the Reply to message window which doesn't have the attachments as they are attached to the original message. You can view the original message by clicking 'Pop Out' at the top of the reply message.
