FORWARD - forward messages to another address
Usage: FORWARD [message-sequence]
Unless specified, the message-sequence is "current".
At the prompt "To", type the address to which to forward the message(s).
At the prompt "Message...", you may type a message, which will appear
above the forwarded message(s). End with ESCAPE, as usual.
The FORWARD command is used to forward a message or set of messages you
have received to some other address, with, optionally, comments from you
at the beginning. If more than one message is specified, they will all
be sent together as one forwarded message with a header listing the
contents. You will appear as the sender, on the FROM line, of the
forwarded mail, and therefore replies go to you. After you have typed
your message (if any) and press ESCAPE, you will be in SEND MODE.
If you use the REMAIL command instead: you cannot insert comments; each
message is remailed as a separate message; and replies go to the original
sender. FORWARD is like making a photocopy to show someone; REMAIL is
like correcting the address on an envelope.
There is an ethical problem involved with FORWARD or REMAIL. Consider
whether the original sender would want the message seen by someone else.
If you use FORWARD, you can use the EDIT command at the Send> prompt to
edit the forwarded text to delete sensitive portions.
