iPhone needs fully downloaded attachments prior to forwarding

My iPhone needs to fully download attachments in an email before I can forward it.

I have an iPhone 6, using Exchange 2010 with ActiveSync.

Coming from a BlackBerry, I could see attachments on my phone and forward the email instantly without having to wait for the full attachment to download. Now on my new iPhone, I need to wait for the attachments to download (some of which can be a few MB) before I can move on. This ties up my phone while the download occurs.

Is there something I'm missing? I've googled for this issue and have come up with very little as a solution.

For anyone else searching for this issue, the term I was looking for is SmartForward with Exchange ActiveSync. Also SmartReply.

It appears the iOS mail client doesn't support these commands in Apple's implementation of ActiveSync.

If you need this functionality, download the free Microsoft Outlook for iOS app.

Is this issue still around?

This combined with Gmail connection issues made me ditch Mail app for Gmail + Outlook apps.

Google is not playing nice by removing Push Gmail and intentionally screwing up connection to Mail app.
