Rich Text Messages _are_ HTML messages. Despite their name, they have
nothing to do with the Rich Text Format which is known from word
processors: Try sending a "rich text" message from PowerMail and view it
with an email client which can show the message source (e.g. Apple Mail)
and you'll see...
(Of course this doesn't help you with your forwarding problem, but since
you asked...)
Kind regards,
Tobias Jung

Winston,
Use Redirect instead of Forward. Redirect will leave the message content as it
was.

Thank you for letting me know that. It appears that Redirect will not allow
changing the title of the email (such as by adding Fwd:) and that you can't add
anything to the text of the message. This is a disadvantage in a lot of
circumstances.
For example, I am trying to forward and invitation to a fundraising event, and
would like to add an introductory note explaining my involvement. I can't do
this with Redirect. So in this particular case it's not a solution.
Are there any other differences between Forward and Redirect?
Do I need to download images before I use Redirect?
Thank you.
