5. is there a way to redirect (as in eudora) messages so that the
from
address is from the person who sent it to you? eg person A sends me
message
I send to person B so that when person B replies, it knows to go to
person A,
not me.
So how do you know person A wants email from person B? They didn't
send to person B. Any replies from person B are unsolicited. Person
A has no control over to whom you forward a copy of their e-mail. Why
would you think that person A would want any e-mails from one, dozens,
or hundreds of recipients to which YOU choose to forward the e-mail?
Person A did not send the e-mail to person B. YOU did. Orland showed
a method but you will have to go through that process each time. If
you use it, and to be polite to person B, make damn sure that you note
what you did in the body of your post; otherwise, you'll could be
viewed as a malcontent or spammer that is trying to avoid getting
replies to an e-mail that YOU sent.
Rather than forward the original e-mail inline in the body of your
post, attach the original e-mail. When you insert the original e-mail
inline with the body of your post, all the headers are removed from
the original post so the person getting the forwarded message doesn't
know who was their actual author and also has to assume that you did
not modify the original message. If you attach the original message
when you forward it, all the original headers will still be there.
When the recipient receives YOUR new e-mail with the attached message,
they can decide to open that original message that is attached - and
if they reply then they will be doing to so the author of that
attached message, not to you. Of course, they still have your message
to which they can reply. You don't need to configure a per-message
setting to slide replies to someone else (who may or may not be the
author of the original e-mail), you don't need to warn the recipient
of what you did to be polite, and the recipient gets your message and
the original message as an attachment. They can reply to your e-mail
or they can reply to whomever wrote the attached message if they open
it to read the *original* message (not the portion of it that you
actually included in your message).
