Rich attachments in emails (or other modes of communication) may be regenerated when an email with a rich attachment is sent to an application incapable of handling the rich attachment and then returned or forwarded to an application capable of handling the rich attachments. In some examples, the rich attachment may be along with a link (e.g., a hypertext markup language 'HTML' link) or similar construct by the application capable of handling the rich attachment. A receiving/forwarding (or replying) application that is incapable of handling the rich attachment features, may simply keep the link in the email without processing the rich features. When the email comes back or is forwarded to the application capable of handling the rich attachment, the HTML link may be recognized, the attachment and associated metadata extracted, and presented to the recipient as rich attachment (e.g., in an attachment well).
