Great solution... but a pain to try to explain to novice and/or non-technical users.

I can't figure out why Outlook Express has the "forward as attachment" option right there in the menu, but Outlook doesn't?? Weird.

BTW, (slightly off topic), I also hate the way that clicking on a link within Outlook will take over an existing MS Explorer window when I'd rather it open a new window and not interfere. Is there a way to change the default behavior for this?

even better, ditch IE, and use firefox as your default browser.  you can 
configure it to open up new windows (or tabs) when triggered by external 
links.

In OE you can shift-click to get a new window, but this doesn't seem to work
in Outlook.

Best I've found so far is to try to remember to open an empty IE window,
*then* click the link.

In IE:
Tools->internet options->advanced and uncheck the box that says 'Reuse
windows for launching shortcuts'
