Sometimes I receive an HTML message that I want to forward to a friend.
<Rarely>, but sometimes! I just received a newsletter today that has a good
article about avoiding injury from prolonged and repeated use of a computer,
which a lot of us do. I wanted to forward this message to a friend. When I
forwarded it, however, Entourage turned it into plain text, with lots of
blank lines and strange formatting and, of course, no graphics.
I tried writing a script using "forward theMsg with HTML text". This
produced results identical to the plain forward, except that the text was in
HTML format, using my default font and size, but otherwise the same as the
plain text version. No graphics, no styling of the text.
Personally, I can live without being able to compose complex HTML messages
in my mail. I have never had the need. However, having received such a
message, I think it <should> be possible to retransmit the identical message
without editing. [Pause while I smack my forehead] Hey! That's a clue:
"retransmit...without editing." Sounds like "redirect." I wonder...
Yes!! When I redirect the incoming HTML message, it appears as an outgoing
message with all the HTML formatting and graphics intact. I just learned
something.
