<title>Forwarding a message</title>

<p>When you receive an email, you can forward it to other individuals or groups that might be interested.</p>
<p>You can forward a message as an attachment to a new message (this is the default setting, see <link xref="#default-settings">Default settings</link>), inline (in your message without the &gt; character before each line), or quoted (with &gt; character before each line).</p>
<p>Attachment forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered message to someone else. Inline or Quoted forwarding is best if you want to send portions of a message, or if you have a large number of comments on different sections of the message you are forwarding.</p>

<p>To forward a message that you are reading:</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click <guiseq><gui>Message</gui><gui>Forward</gui></guiseq>, the <gui>Forward</gui> button in the toolbar, or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>F</key></keyseq> to use the default forwarding method. In case you want to use a different forward method, click <guiseq><gui>Message</gui><gui>Forward as</gui></guiseq> or the small dropdown arrow next to the <gui>Forward</gui> button in the toolbar to choose the method.</p></item>
<item><p>Select a recipient for the message. The subject is already entered, although you can alter it if you want.</p></item>
<item><p>Add your comments on the message in the text field.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui style="button">Send</gui> or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Return</key></keyseq>.</p></item>
</steps>

<p>Les pièces jointes d'un message ne sont retransmises que si vous envoyez le message original en tant que pièce jointe. Pour les messages intégrés, les pièces jointes ne sont pas retransmises.</p>
