I often want to forward an email to another recipient, having made some minor
changes, but without it being obvious that hte email has been sent to someone
else. Every time I do this, I have to delete the "Fw:" added to the subject.
Can I stop Outlook 2003 doing this? Can I also set the inserted text colour
to match my original text?
Thanks, Andy

Why would you want to alter an email that was sent by someone to you and then send
that email to someone else as your own. That is theft,fraud and you name it

Double click to open the message and from the Actions menu use the Resend
This Message option and readdress the email.

There are also many legit examples where you might want to do this. For
instance, someone sends you the message first because you have to a approve
(and slightly modify) it and send it from your name.

Peter, Sorry if you got the wrong end of the stick...
I regularly send out requests for quotation emails which include a
spreadsheet and are addressed to a supplier, with a salutation to my contact
at that supplier.
I need to send exactly the same email, with all the timescales and terms an
conditions, to a number of other suppliers, but with a different email
address for the recipient and a different salutation. Some will have the same
spreadsheet, others will have a different spreadsheet but everything else the
same. I do not want the suppliers to be obviously aware that the email has
been sent to another supplier as well.
I do this be forwarding the original email, cutting and pasting the
spreadsheet as necessary, overwriting the salutaion, email address and
deleting the "Fw:" from the subject line and then changing the text colour to
match the original.

Not trying to change an email and trying to convince someone that it is an
original!

Is this a message you are composing? If so, save it as a draft or template-
if as a draft, copy/paste it in the drafts folder to make multiple copies
before sending the first one. If you do this same format often, save it as
a template.

Sorry about that but I automatically think the same because I have seen this happen
many times.
Again I apologize
