Is there a way to quickly attach an Outlook email to an Asana task?
Previous threads directed to the Outlook plug-in but I find that this only “copy-pastes” the text content from the email thread into a comment. This is quite unwieldy for long message threads so uploading the email as a file attachment is preferred.
I was pretty sure the Outlook plugin was attaching the entire email 
@Phil_Seeman you are a Microsoft guy, any thoughts?
No, the Asana Outlook add-in doesn’t attach the email. I think the best thing one can do currently is drag and drop the email from the Outlook email list onto the task in Asana. But:
- That’s awkward because you have to go to the task in Asana which kind of defeats the purpose of having the add-in in Outlook
- Once in Asana, you can’t view the email directly; you have to download it and then open the downloaded .msg file
Here’s a request for this feature you can upvote:

Awkward indeed. But thanks for letting me know, I’ve added my vote.
Agreed (& voted).
Does anyone know if there is already a thread we can vote on to add a “save as attachment” option within the outlook add in?
I recently switched over to “New Outlook” from the standard app, which behaves more like Webmail. I can’t seem now to drag an email into an Asana task like I could on the original app version. Has anyone else encountered this? Any fixes/tips?
