Help for Lotus Notes 8 (basic configuration) - Forwarding a message or document

MAIL

Forwarding a message or document
You can forward a message from your IBM® Lotus® Notes® mail application or a document from another application.

1. Select the message or document. To forward multiple messages or documents as a single message, select the messages or documents.

2. Click the down arrow on the Forward button above the message list, and then click a forwarding option:

Option Description

Forward Forwards the entire original message.

Forward without Attachments Forwards the entire original message, except for any file attachments it contains.

Internet-Style Forward Forwards the text of the original message formatted in the line length and marked with the left-margin character (> is the default) specified in your Internet mail preferences.
This style of forwarding includes no pictures, attachments, OLE objects, or collapsible sections.

Note

If you attempt to forward a Notes message and see only a

Forwarded by

line with your name, the original sender has set an option

to prevent copying or forwarding the message

3. Address the message by typing at least one name or e-mail address in one of the address fields, To, Cc (carbon copy), or Bcc (blind carbon copy). To select addresses from your contact list or a directory, click the To field label.

4. (Optional) Type comments above or within the original message or document.

Tip

Use

permanent pen

to add comments in a color that stands out from the original message. Use the

highlighter

to hightext in the original message for emphasis.

5. (Optional) Do either of the following:

To attach one or more files, click the paper clip icon above the message.
To specify delivery options such as delivery priority or automatic spell check, click Delivery Options above the message.

6. Click Send to send the message, click Send and File to send the message and save it in a folder, or click Save as Draft to save a copy of the message in your Drafts view without sending it.

To turn off the Fw: prefix

The subject of a forwarded message is preceded by the prefix Fw: by default.
