Forwarding Suspicious Emails with Attachments

Greetings and Salutations,

I get suspicious-looking phishing emails from time-to-time that I want to forward for inspection.

These emails have attachments. When I hit the forward button the attachments open. I believe malware can activate when an infected attachment opens. I do not want to open any attachments on any email that I forward.

Is there a way to forward an email without opening the attachments?

Many thanks for your input.
