Forwarding Messages

Forwarding a message is similar to replying to a message.

How to:

Click the message you want to forward.

Click the Forward button:

Once that message window is up, you will need to click the To button:

Choose who you want to receive the forwarded message.

You may also notice that before the subject Outlook has placed the letters Fw:. This notifies the person receiving your message that it is a forwarded message.

You can add your own text above, or below, the automatically inserted text of the original message.

Once that is done, you can simply click the Send button:

When you forward a message, a blue right-pointing arrow appears attached to the envelope symbol next to the message in your Inbox folder.
