I'd like to add other mail message as an attachment to a new one but Mail (On OSX Lion) does not allow me to do that.

Any workaround?

Attaching other Messages in Mail.app (OS X Lion)

  1. Create a new message (⌘N)
  2. Return to your inbox
  3. Click and hold on the message you want to attach until it turns into a letter icon Letter Icon
  4. (Still holding down) drag and drop the icon into the new message window

Repeat steps 2 through 4 for as many messages as you want to attach.

You can't put enough emphasis on step #3. You really have to wait a bit til the icon appears. If you drag too early you just start selecting several mails. – patrix Jul 11 '12 at 18:21

I believe what you're looking to do is "forward" an email...
