I've seen the argument of "what if you want to forward a copy on to someone else for inspection, whatever" - without forming a new copy of the message. That's actually really hard to do in the current universe, because the headers will make it look extra spammy.
Not necessarily. I just resent your message to myself. Mulberry, IMO still the best email client, adds the following headers:
Resent-Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 20:30:30 +0100 Resent-From: Sebastian Hagedorn <[email protected]> Resent-To: Sebastian Hagedorn <[email protected]> Resent-Message-ID: <[email protected]> X-Resent-Mailer: Mulberry/4.1.0a1 (Mac OS X)Doesn't look spammy at all, because it's completely clear what has happened. I use that feature all the time.
You're much better off forming a new message.
No, because the idea is precisely to preserve the original headers.
Again, I really think it's the rare case. I'd rather not complicate message sending (and knowing which recipients had the message sent to them) for this case. There will still be SMTP. Most clients don't provide it for good reason - it's weird, advanced, non-intuative stuff. Do Exchange or Facebook provide such interfaces?
Facebook not, but Outlook/Exchange does ... it's called "Resend This Message...".
