Forwarding A Mail Message

Often, you will want to forward a message to someone else.

1. From the mail message summary window (the In mailbox), open the mail message that you wish to forward or simply select it.

   

2. To forward the message, choose Forward from the Message menu. The body of the received message will transfer to a new message window.
3. Fill in the "To:" field with the address of the person to whom the message will be forwarded. The "From:" field of a forwarded message will be marked as coming from you. The original message text and the header of that message will be included in the forwarded message. Each line of the original message will be denoted by the ">" symbol.
4. To edit or add text to a forwarded message, position the I-beam where you wish to enter your text, click, and proceed as described in the preceding section on "Replying to a Mail Message".
5. Click Send when you are ready to send the forwarded message.
