Forward or Reply to Complex HTML Loses Formatting?

What do I need to do to forward a complex HTML message via Entourage keeping
all of it¹s formatting intact? Now, when I forward a complex HTML message
the new message appears as text only (not ³plain² text) with no HTML
formatting. The message is marked as HTML but it has no
pictures/highlights. The HTML formatting commands seem to be intact but the
appearance is simplistic. Any ideas?

Redirect or Forward as Attachment.

Thanks. Not sure why Entourage forces a workaround, but both of your
suggestions appear to work.

Because Mac OS has no built-in support for rich HTML composition yet.
Apple's Mail has the same problem.

Well, if you'd look back on this server a few days or more, you'd see it
asked and answered about 100 times already. The website in my signature is a
good place to check too.

Drag the original as an attachment into a new HTML message. (You can select
a few words and Forward, add your own text if you want, then drag the
attachment.)

Or do a Redirect, if the recipient doesn't need to know it comes from you
and you don't need to add any text.

Or, select the message you wish to forward and select "Forward as
Attachment" from the Message menu.
