Forward attachments?

I have WinXP SP2.... sometimes I get an email with an attachment that I want
to forward to a friend. When I click "forward" the text shows, but the
attachment is missing. Can this be changed?

Thanks.

 

WinXP SP2 is not an e-mail client. We don't know what you are using as
an e-mail client. Although we could guess that it is Outlook Express
but what you use for newsgroups may not be what you use for e-mail.

Try forwarding the original e-mail as an attachment to see what happens.

 

Possibly. That would all depend on your e-mail client.

 

That statement is ambiguous. It could mean that you want to send the
attachment to another friend, or it could mean that you want to forward
the entire mail which has the attachment to another friend.

If I interpret that you want to email the attachment, one method is to
save the attachment to disk. Then create an new email to your desired
recipient and attach the file you saved.

What happens when you click 'forward' depends on a lot of things,
including how the original item is structured and what email client you
are using and how it is configured.

Also, bear in mind that just because someone sends you an email doesn't
mean that you have permission to email their address and other
characteristics found in their email headers to someone else. This is a
problem if you forward their email as an attachment addressed to someone
else.

Your [REMOVE] , a poor attempt at a munged address is on the wrong side
of the @.

Be creative with your mung, and change it often as well.

If you decide to add a "spamblock" to your existing address, put it on
the right-hand side of the @ sign.

My XP SP2 doesn't handle email all that well either, I had to use
another program for that.

Please note that most of the time your friends wont appreciate you
sending them an attachment that was sent to you. Also, many people have
set limits on the byte size of messages to reduce unwanted mail, so the
attachement wont show up at all.
