Answer 1

Get the mail, which should be added as attachment. then call «SaveAs({filename}, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olMSG)» and add this file to your new mail

Answer 2

As per your requirement you want to send an existing mail object as an attachment to another mail in outlook.

One way of doing this is by saving the existing mailItem as an attachment to other. Try this:

private void AddMessageAsAttachment(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem 
                     mailContainer,Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mailToAttach)
        {
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Attachments attachments = null;
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Attachment attachment = null;
            try
            {
                attachments = mailContainer.Attachments;
                attachment = attachments.Add(mailToAttach,
                   Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olEmbeddeditem, 1, "The attached e-mail");
                mailContainer.Save();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                if (attachment != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(attachment);
                if (attachments != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(attachments);
            }
        }
