This is exactly why I didn't mention the Redirect feature, because I knew it would cause confusion (not many mail clients have it, so most people don't know what it is or what it does). But since Roger brought it up, and now you (Doug) have shown an interest... Emailer has a "Redirect" option that can be used instead of "Forward". Its very much the same as forward, except what it does is sends the email to the "redirected" recipient, and uses the original senders info as the return info. So the new recipient sees the email as if it came from the original sender, instead of as coming from the person that forwarded it. To access this feature in Emailer, select the email you wish to redirect, then choose "Redirect" from the Mail menu, or click the icon with the red check mark shaped arrow in the toolbar (next to the green "forward" arrow icon). Then address the email to whoever should receive it and then send it. If you are forwarding emails between Emailer databases to consolidate, then the Redirect feature may be more desirable, simply because it retains the original senders info as the return path. However, a Forward email will contain that info as well, just in the body of the email instead of in the headers, so you don't loose anything by using Forward, but you do gain a step of convenience and cleanness by using Redirect. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
