Mail including attachments in reply

I have a specific issue (almost a bug I think) with Apple Mail.

If I reply to an email attachments are "named" but not included (as you would expect).

If I forward an email I'm prompted whether to include attachments or not (and it works as expected).

Issue: I often reply to an email but move the "to" recipient to "cc" and put a new name in "to". This causes ALL attachments and embedded links to be attached. This did not happen in Monterey.

Anyone got a solution?

iMac 24″, macOS 13.1

Updated to 13.2 (22D49) and still doing the same behaviour.

I would use the Forward option to your new contact and CC or BCC your original contact— compare your results.

if you still have an issue—

you can file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here:  http://www.apple.com/feedback

Hi, I know 13.2 has been released but Software Update says I'm up to date with 13.1 (22C65). Maybe my region hasn't had 13.2 released yet.

From >System Settings>General>Software Update Command R will reload and check again

Thanks. I just did that and the result was that it is up to date. I'll keep trying but the update doesn't mention this in the list of fixes.

Not all fixes are listed, but we have to start with the current macOS to eliminate a version issue.

you can from the Terminal.app query the Update Tool manually, copy and paste:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
