    Hi all

    I received an email in HTML which I want to forward as is. No matter
    what I try it keeps wanting to do it in plain text.

    I've looked all over the place, help files, forums but I'm not getting
    the right answer. Anybody know how it's done?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Best regards

    Tony

    I will assume (rightly or wrongly) that you are asking about
    the Windows version of Thunderbird. On other operating systems,
    Thunderbird's menus can be arranged a little differently.
    If you want T'bird to forward in HTML, you can do _one_ of these three things

    (1) Go to "Tools » Account Settings » (*select email account*) » Composition and Addressing"
    and put a check-mark in the box "Compose messages in HTML format".
    Do this *before* you click "Forward".

    (2) Or, do this
    2.1 Start a new blank HTML email
    2.2 Copy the body of the email you wish to forward
    (click in the body, then press Ctrl+A)
    2.3 Paste it into the new blank email.
    You may wish to use "Edit » Paste as Quotation".

    (3) Or, to forward the message, use
    "Message » Forward As » Attachment"
