Outlook Web Add In with Graph API - Is it possible to include current item as an attachment when forwarding/sending an email?

Question

I want to be able to send my current item as an attachment to another mailbox as an 'Outlook Item'. This would include any attachments attached to my current item.

I have used the graph API to return my current item in its entirety, but its the forwarding this as an attachment part im struggling with.

Im using this doc as a guide and at Request 3 it touches on attachments, but i havent seen anyone attach an Outlook item as an attachment

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-sendmail?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

I would rather forward the current item as an attachment as opposed to just forwarding the message body, but im not sure if this is possible?

Any insight on this is much appreciated. Thanks!

You need to use the ItemAttachment resource type to add the message/event/post as attachment. Here's the documentation for it!
