Attach current email as attachment to current email reply in newer Outlooks

I have this code:
Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strSubject As String
Select Case True
Case (InStr(Item.Subject, "PIR") > 0)
If InStr(Item.Subject, "RE") > 0 Then
strSubject = Replace(Item.Subject, "RE:", "", vbTextCompare)
Else
End If
If InStr(Item.Subject, "FW") > 0 Then
strSubject = Replace(Item.Subject, "FW:", "", vbTextCompare)
Else
End If
If strSubject = "" Then
Else
Set objRecip = Item.Recipients.Add("email.address@domain.com")
objRecip.Type = olBCC
objRecip.Resolve
Item.Subject = Trim(strSubject)
Item.Save
Item.Attachments.Add Item
Item.Save
End If
Case (InStr(Item.Subject, "PIQ") > 0)
If InStr(Item.Subject, "RE") > 0 Then
strSubject = Replace(Item.Subject, "RE:", "", vbTextCompare)
Else
End If
If InStr(Item.Subject, "FW") > 0 Then

This is in ThisOutlookSession and checks all sent emails for a specific subject.
This code works on my Outlook 2010, but on other Outlooks, it errors at "Item.Attachments.Add Item" saying "a message cannot be attached to itself".
Is there a way round this in newer versions?
On Outlook 2010 the user would hit reply (or forward) to reply to who sent the email to them.
A copy needs to be attached so the added email address (BCC "email.address@domain.com") via the code, gets a copy. This email address is a system email address that strips attachments and saves them into our workflow software under the job (which is in the subject line). That is why we need to send an attachment of the email, so if the user says "Do xyz on this job" then that email message is saved into our workflow system.

This code doesn't seem to make sense. You clearly can't attach a message to itself. If you want to send the current message, you forward it to another address. Why would you think you need to do this?

Well it does work flawlessly on Outlook 2010, just not 2013 Basically the user would hit reply (or FW) to reply to who sent the email to them, but a copy needs to be attached so that the added email address (BBC "email.address@domain.com") via the code above, gets a copy. This email address is a system email address that strips attachments and saves them into our workflow software under the job (which is in the subject line). That is why we need to send an attachment of the email, so if the user says "Do xyz on this job" then that email message is saved into our workflow system.

Why not create a new message and attach the current message to that new message?
You can try to use Redemption for that (it won't try to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot), but you will most likely end up getting a ghost empty message attachment on the message attached as an embedded attachment since Redemption will copy the embedded attachment just after it was created.

I was thinking of doing a saveas on item (the current message) saving it somewhere locally, then attaching that saveas in the code, that might work I think. But that seems a clunky way to do it, and would end up with a folder somewhere full of saved messages, I guess I could code a delete in there after the fact?

You could, but, again, why do you need this? If you only care about the embedded message attachment, why not create an empty message with only recipients copied and attach the original object? Why do you need two copies of the same message?

The user replies to a email from another user who is asking for information. The original sender needs this information sent to them, hence the reply. However we also need the information sent (in body of email) sent as an attachment to our workflow system, as it saves this information (email) with timestamp against the job. So whatever the user types into the body of the reply, needs to be sent to the coded email address as an attachment.

You could, but, again, why do you need this? If you only care about the embedded message attachment, why not create an empty message with only recipients copied and attach the original object? Why do you need two copies of the same message?

The user replies to a email from another user who is asking for information. The original sender needs this information sent to them, hence the reply. However we also need the information sent (in body of email) sent as an attachment to our workflow system, as it saves this information (email) with timestamp against the job. So whatever the user types into the body of the reply, needs to be sent to the coded email address as an attachment.

This code doesn't seem to make sense. You clearly can't attach a message to itself. If you want to send the current message, you forward it to another address. Why would you think you need to do this?

Well it does work flawlessly on Outlook 2010, just not 2013 Basically the user would hit reply (or FW) to reply to who sent the email to them, but a copy needs to be attached so that the added email address (BBC "email.address@domain.com") via the code above, gets a copy. This email address is a system email address that strips attachments and saves them into our workflow software under the job (which is in the subject line). That is why we need to send an attachment of the email, so if the user says "Do xyz on this job" then that email message is saved into our workflow system.
