Forward a draft

[Guest]

It infuriates me that I cannot open the DRAFTS folder and FORWARD a draft
email in Outlook. I often create email messages for the entire sales force
that I then want to send to my boss for review before I actually send it.
Now I have to create the draft, copy it to word doc, save it, attach it to a
message, etc. This is RIDICULOUS. Let me forward a draft if I want to.
Lotus Notes allowed it but Outlook won't!

You don't need to jump through hoops like that. Hold down the Control key and drag the message to Drafts to make a copy. Open the copy and send it. The original is still in your Drafts folder.

I don't see any suggestion here. Please do not abuse the suggestion
feature.

I forward drafts all the time. It's not an Outlok shortcoming. Instead of
ranting, state your Outlook version, account type, and the exact symptoms
you have, as well as exactly what you're doing to elicit the problem.
Perhaps someone will be able to suggest a solution.

If you won't forward it directly, send it as an attachment of a separate
mail. This is how we usually send drafts around - that keeps the draft
intact. Forwarding it will insert new header lines into the draft.
