If you're forwarding as attachment, it shouldn't matter, but if you're forwarding inline, you should do so as HTML to preserve formatting. I haven't explicitly set anything to HTML so I guess I'm forwarding using whatever the default is. I assumed that would default to whatever the forwarded message was formatted as but that's not the case. Shift+Forward preserves that original formatting.

What is controlling this? Is there something I can change to retain the original formatting? A couple of places to start: 1) Are you forwarding inline or as attachment? The latter should preserve formatting. 2) Is the message that contains the forwarded message a plain-text or HTML message? If you're forwarding as attachment, it shouldn't matter, but if you're forwarding inline, you should do so as HTML to preserve formatting. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

My workaround is to hold down the shift key when clicking forward or reply. If your formatting is still visible on your computer but gone when the email reaches your wife, your problem is different! My experience is the same as yours. After selecting Forward but before selecting Send the formatting is gone. Your workaround also works for me. Thanks for replying. I'd still like to know if there's a Preference that could change this behavior but now I have a way around it.
