Resend This Message Option

[Guest]

Since my upgrade to Outlook 2007, I've had problems when using "Resend This
Message" in situations where I receive information from someone that I what
to distribute to others but have the email come from me. I want it to appear
as a new email and not a forwarded email. I change the "From" line email
address to my email address but when the receipients of my email try to reply
to me, the reply goes to the original sender, which Outlook must retain
somewhere. I can't see it on a copy of my sent email. This didn't appear to
have happen with Outlook 2003. Ideas?

"Resend this Message"???
That is normally used for messages you first send then need to resend.
Use Forward. Forward will show the message as from you and should use your
address (even though you can set the Reply to Address at any time in Message
Options).

I'd caution you on making it look like a message comes from you. Usually we
respect the property of the sender. Having said that, you will need to
delete the FW part of the Subject and might need to make changers to the
body of the message or change your "when forwarding" options.
