Mike, unlike Paul, that options *does* seem to do the trick. I have tested this with a couple of emails - one without attachments and the second with, and interestingly enough it retains the material I want to forward but seemingly converts it into an HTML format to send onwards. For instance - if I wanted to forward text with some images, when I receive and read that email the images will all be as separate attachments which I have to manually open as image files. When I invoke the "T" option as you suggest and change the address line to the new recipient, the images are "opened"/ displayed at various points during the text. This is - AFAIK - what happens in an HTML email format. I'd prefer not to forward HTML-laden emails, but I suspect that that is how I received it and it was just not displayed as such locally due to my preference settings.
However, bottom line: so far this is the most viable solution to the forwarding issue. I'm sorry to read that it doesn't work for you in a similar way Paul.
Thanks Mike, I'll keep trying that as the solution and will monitor it. AG
