     To: imp@lists.horde.org


Quoting rob...@duff.de:

when forwarding a mail (in body text) attached files are not forwarded. What is the reason for that? Or is there any option i am missing?

As you said, you are forwarding body text only.

To forward the mail with attachements i have to download and re-upload (which is annoying) or forward the entire message as attachment (which seems to be not compatible with the skills of most mail-users, at least i get a lot of complaints when forwarding as attachemt)

There's no such thing as forwarding with attachments. Forwarding means to send the ENTIRE message via message/rfc822. "Forwarding body text only" breaks this paradigm by allowing a more reply-like behavior to body text, but it is not true forwarding.

hi,


OK i understand. But if you are breaking the paradigm anyways wouldn't it be better to behave like most other mail clients? The expected behavior (for most useres) when hitting the forward button seems to be: add the original text in body and attach all other parts as attachment, just like outlook et.al. does.
