Resend on Behalf

Alternate to Forward

Let's say you get a message that you would like to forward, but you don't necessarily want to take "ownership."

1. Open the message in its own window
   
   
2. Go to Actions>Resend This Message
   (Other Actions in 2007)
   
3. When you click Send, you will be reminded that you are not the original sender of the message
   
   
4. Click OK

The message will be from you, "on behalf of" the original sender.
IMPORTANT: If the recipient clicks the Reply button, his message will go to the original sender, not to you.
