Whenever I fwd an html email, it turns everything to code. Is there
anyway to fwd an email with graphics, etc. AS IS? I get emails where
people will fwd me an html email of a webpage, etc.

Any refs or suggestions much appreciated.

thanks

Use 'forward as attachment' from the message menu

Message > Redirect also works and it doesn't go as an attachment --
except that then you can't add (or change) anything.

the forward as attachment works, but you have to open the attachment.
the redirect will not forward it for some reason. am i missing
something? thanks for your help.

Thank you both suggestions. This problem has always had me wondering
how to work around it. I tested 'forward as attachment' and 'Message >
Redirect'. Both work for me. ws

"forward as attachment" must be a choice in Entourage 2004 only, as I
only see "Forward" under "Message" in Entourage X.

Then there is no answer for X users?

You can just drag the message onto a new message window - it will be
attached exactly as the new command does in 2004.

I thought there was also an existing script to perform this same function,
but I can't find it a scriptbuilders, so here's a new one. Save this script
as a compiled script called "Forward As Attachment\mcF" (without the quotes)
in the folder [~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items].
You can then run the script from the script menu or by pressing
control-cmd-F. It will create a new message window with any selected
messages attached.
