Forwarding a Message

You can forward messages to other users from the main toolbar OR from a new message window.

Forwarded messages sent to you display the text Fwd: and the original message subject in the Subject.

When you forward a message, a gray right-pointing arrow appears next to the message in your In window to let you know that you have forwarded the message to another user.

3. Click the Forward button when you are ready to forward the message.
4. Type any additional text if you wish.
