Hi NtombiZO,

Hope you are doing well.

I am writing to follow up on this thread.

As per your mentioned example, I have tried to find below way if it can be suitable for you.

Open New email > Click on Format Text tab > select "Rich Text" > After that, click on Insert tab > click on Object > Select Microsoft Excel Worksheet or any other object > click on OK. This is something like an attachment in email body.

Furthermore, I know this is not too much suitable way to achieve your requirement, but initial stage I tried to make small effort from my side, at least you may try to achieve such kind of requirement.

If there could be some way to add Microsoft Form to the options for objects or to increase the number of options on the Poll option on Outlook that would be great!
