Tutorial - Forwarding a Message to another E-Mail User

Forwarding a Message

Webmail Direct provides options for you when forwarding messages.

New Options in Forwarding Messages- Please read carefully.

Clicking Forward in a message window opens the Compose page with the original message and attachment displayed below the composition window; you cannot edit the original message.

Clicking Inline opens the Compose page with the original message in the composition window; you can edit the original message, but you cannot forward attachments using the Inline command.

In order to forward an attachment and edit the original message, you must first save the attachment to a directory, then click Inline from the message window, make your edits and re-add the attachment to the message.  Click here for more information on Sending an Attachment.

To forward a message:

  1. Open the message and click Forward or Inline.

    If you clicked Forward, the Compose page opens with the original message below the composition window; you cannot edit the original message.

    If you clicked Inline, the Compose page opens with the original message editable within the composition window; however, you lose the attachment (see note above). In both cases, the Subject field is appended with Fwd and filled in with the original message's subject.
     

  2. Enter the following data:
    • Addresses of the recipients of the message in the To, Cc, and Bcc text boxes.
    • Any text you want to include in the composition window.
    • Any other message options, as described in Composing a Message.
