Forwarding Mail

You can forward mail that you receive to a co-worker or anyone else with an e-mail address. When you forward a message, you can also add your own comments (or even attachments) to the message if you want.

Forward Mail When you forward mail, you send a copy of a message you have received to another person; you can add your own comments to the forwarded mail, if you want.

You can forward an open message or a message selected in the message list in the Inbox in the same way. To forward mail, follow these steps:

1. Select or open the message you want to forward. Then click the Forward button. The FW Message window appears (see Figure 6.3).

   Figure 6.3. When you forward a message, the original message appears at the bottom of the message window.

   

2. In the To text box, enter the addresses of the people to whom you want to forward the mail. If you want to choose an address or addresses from a list, click the To button to display the Select Names dialog box, and then select the address or addresses from your Contacts list.

3. (Optional) In the Cc text box, enter the addresses of anyone to whom you want to forward copies of the message.

4. In the message area of the window, enter any message you want to send with the forwarded text.

   

   Attachments Are Forwarded, Too If the message that you forward contains attached files, the attachments are also forwarded.
