In 4.0.38 my experience when manually forwarding is that nearly always happens but very occasionally the HTML attachment (or any other attachment) isn't sent. When automatically forwarding by filter actions the other attachments are not sent over half the time and the HTML one not sent 10-20% of the time unless I tick "use MIME envelope for original message". > That feature was lost or misplaced in the latest version.

Fair enough. > But just out of curiosity, how *DO* you attach an > entire email to another outgoing email? Method One Open a new email Drag the message you are forwarding from the message list to the new message window you just opened and drop it. This works for most email clients I've used. Method Two "Alternative Forward" from the "Specials" menu (or Shift+Alt+F5) The body to which the forwarded message is attached will have whatever content is created by the forwarding template being used. Method Three Go to Account Properties | Templates | Forward Place a tick in the box labelled "Forward messages as attachments (MIME standard)" This has the effect of switching around the "Forward" and "Alternative Forward" functions so that selecting "Forward" (or CTRL+o) creates a new message with the message attached that you wish to forward. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Wise men learn many things from their enemies.
