    Hi jhubbard 

     

    If I'm understanding correctly, the user wants to forward on an email with an attachment as a Teams meeting request within OWA? I've found something that kind of works, but it's probably just as convoluted as the workaround you have.

     

    In OWA, open the email in question, and on the 3 dots next to the reply/forward icons click and select "Other Reply Actions > Reply All by meeting"

     

    This create a new calendar event with the body of the email, but without the attachment. Go down to the bottom and click on the paperclip, and select "Browse cloud locations"

     

    In the selection window that opens, click on 'recent attachments' in the left hand menu. This shows a list of all of the attachments in emails you have sent a received - the attachments regarding the email in question should be in the list 

     

     

    Select the attachments, then send the meeting invite.

     

    Hope this is helpful. It's a bit fiddly but might work in a pinch. 

     

    Best regards,

    Mark
