Forwarding an email

An additional way of sending an email is to forward one.

In this case you receive an email and send it on to a third party.

First of all, highlight the mail you want to send to the third party as if you were about to reply to it.

Now click on the forward icon on the toolbar. This will open up a new mail message with a copy of the original in the main window.

Again, as in replying, there is room for you to make a comment about the email if you wish.

However the difference is that just as is the case with writing a new email the 'To' line is empty and you need to enter the email address of the person you wish to send it to.

Once you have typed your message and ensured that there is an address in the 'To' box you can send the email.

This procedure is the same whether you are reply forwarding or sending a completely new email.
