Re(5): Fwd: Really need a way to forward HTML messages

2011-09-13 Thread Winston Weinmann
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.

Winston,

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

   to archive a vast amount of my e-mail database and everything
   is running brilliantly... Many thanks to CTM !

OK, found out what the problem is with posting RTF messages to the
PowerMail Discussions list. It was at the bottom of the response from
the PowerMail Discussions list:

Your message could not be posted to the PowerMail discussions list because
the message contained HTML and the list does not accept HTML messages.

For more information, you can contact the list administrator at:

CTM listmaster ctm-li...@ctmdev.com

So the PowerMail Discussions list considers RTF as HTML?


This has obscured what I tried to post initially, that I /really/ need
PowerMail to be able to forward HTML messages.

The PowerMail Discussions list did it again. When I forwarded my
original Rich Text Format message to myself, PowerMail 6 displayed it
correctly. But below is what the PowerMail Discussions turned it into.
It should read as:

OK, I've finally run into a situation where I really need to forward an
HTML email. It is about a local arts organization that will close down
in less than two weeks unless it gets immediate help. The message is a
mess when read as text (lots of long ugly links).

I have saved it as a web archive, and will send that. But it loses some
of its impact sent as an attachment.

I really hope PowerMail will be able to forward HTML mail as HTML soon.
