    I have a user with the exact same error occurring.

    • AzureAD user with M365 exchange
    • Win10 20H2 (19042.928)
    • Outlook Click-to-run (v2008 build 13127.21506)
    • User can send and receive emails
    • User can reply to emails
    • Some emails can be forwarded, some not.
    • Those emails that fail to forward return the error below.
    • About to test issue on web client but believe it will work based on seeing this for another user a few months back.
    • Will rebuild laptop to rule out issues with profile and outlook client.
    • As this is occurring across multiple customers I think Microsoft should review further.
    • @JT you are certainly not alone in seeing this fault

    Issue seems to likely be local user profile or outlook app

    Hi guys,
    Anyone found a solution to this issue? I'm having a few users with the same problem, only when they try to forward an email with a PDF attached. The email isn't processed at all on mimecast, and I cannot see it on Exchange as well.

    Have you been able to find any workaround or solution?
