Hi,
This is probably by design, and I see nowhere to change this behavior.
Suppose someone forwards you an email message (message A) with text in the
message body that says "check this out." I'll refer to this new message as
message B. In Outlook you see "check this out" in the message body of
message B, and the forwarded message (message A) appears as an attachment.
Forwarding message B in Outlook is received with the text of message B
("check this out") in the message body and the original message (message A)
still attached.
In Webmail, opening the message that the original forwarder sent shows the
text of message B *and* the text of the attachment (message A) in the
message body. This is OK, but when forwarding the message, this text of
message A is stripped out, so all you get is the forwarder's text (check
this out"), none of the message A that he forwarded to you appears.
Forwarding of forwarded message happens all the time, we all get jokes and
stuff this way. What am I missing here? Browsing for an attachment isn't
the answer, I'm not attaching a file. Is there any way to make this work,
short of copying and pasting the text and creating a new message?
Also, in the specific case I'm seeing, message A also has an attached Word
doc, so there's a double attachment thing happening in this. I'd hate to
think I have to save the attachment to disk, then copy the text of message A
and attach the doc I saved to disk. This defeats the purpose of using
Webmail from anywhere, including kiosks, etc.
Am I being stupid here and missing some configuration or something?
Thanks,
Geoff
