M A,
Thanks for your reply. If this is expected behavior, I'd like to request a future enhancement to control this behavior. There are times when you want to compose and send a new message with archived messages attached to it. Granting the recipient permission to the sender's vault to be able to read a few attached shortcuts seems like overkill; it would make more sense for EV to restore the full item when it's attached to the new message. I realize the workaround is to just forward the archived items, but that would require you to send mulitple messages -- the new message stating you're about to send other emails, then those archived emails that you just referred to. Is this a big deal? To me, No. To my users, a resounding Yes!
