You can forward an existing message as if you are the originator of the message. The forwarded notice is not added to the subject field and the header information shows you are the originator.

  2. Address the message, remove existing address if necessary.
  3. Click Send.

Forward a Message as a Redirected Message

Redirecting a message lets you send an email message you received as if the original author sent the message. Redirect a message instead of forwarding it makes it easier for the recipient to reply to the original sender.

  2. In the Redirect text box, enter the recipients addresses.
  3. Click OK.

Set Preferences for Forwarded Email

When you forward an email you can choose how to handle the original text when forwarding an email message.

Note: If you have selected a prefix for reply messages, you must use the same prefix for both replies and forwarded messages.
