Using Mail

Forwarding messages

To forward a selected message or attachment to another user, select Forward from the Message menu or click on the Forward button.

Fill in the message header information. This includes:

``Subject'': the subject of the forwarded mail. The subject line is already filled in, but you can modify it if you wish.
``To'': the login names of one or more users to whom you are forwarding the mail.
``CC'': the login names of one or more users to whom you are sending ``carbon copies.'' These people receive a copy of the forwarded message.
``Comment'': a short comment to be included with the forwarded message
``Forward as text'': the message will be forwarded as plain text.
``Forward as attachment'': the message will be forwarded as an attachment.

To edit the text of the message, click on Edit. When you do so, the text in the ``Comment'' field is included at the top of the message text.

To forward the message, click on Send.

You can specify a standard comment to include at the beginning of all your forwarded mail by selecting Message from the Preferences menu, clicking in the ``Forward Comment Introducer'' field, and typing the text of your comment.

You can also specify a standard indent string to include at the left of each line of the forwarded mail's text. If you do not specify an indent string, it defaults to a <Tab> character.
