Redirecting a Message

Eudora's Redirect command lets lyou send a message that was sent to you to someone else, while allowing the recipient of the redirected message to reply directly to the original sender. This is different from forwarding a message. Here's how:

  1. Select or open the message you want to redirect.

  2. From the Message menu, select Redirect to display a new composititon window. Eudora completes the From: field with the address of the originator and the words "by way of" followed by your address. The Subject: field and message body are also completed based on the original message.

  3. Type the addresses of the people to whom you wish to redirect the message in the To: field.

  4. The exisiting text may be edited, and more text may be added to the message.

  5. Once the editing is completed, click Send (or Queue).


note: E-mail courtesy suggests that you not do much editing of the message you're redirecting, If you must add comments, put them in []'s with your initials, like: [Don: please reply to this right away. SD]

Notice in this example, you must fill in the To: field; "by way of" is included; and there are no ">"'s to indicate the message has been forwarded.
