Subject Re: [imp] Forwarding attachments:
Quoting Alex May <a...@maymay.de>:
If I forward the original message as an attachment, some users
can't open the attachment and therefore can't get to the
attachments.
Huh? If a mail user agent cannot read a message/rfc822 part, it is
BADLY broken. This is one of the basic MIME parts as defined in
the original RFC document. And this is the correct (and only) way
to FORWARD a message - meaning the receiving party receives the
exact same message as the sender originally received.
The only option offered by Outlook and therefore the option that
most users expect is that when they hit forward, the original
message text appears in the body of the new message and the
original attachments are available to send with it as separate
attachments.
Uh, no. This is *not* FORWARDING the message. This is using the
old message as a template. That is what Edit As New is for.

Otherwise we can discuss endlessly what "forwarding" really means,
and whether outlook is doing it wrong, but users will expect what
they are used to.
More importantly, the option to forward with just some of the
original attachments is common and useful and I don't think that is
available without edit as new.
Edit as new seems to do the job well enough, but:
- this doesn't seem to be available in DIMP, is it?
- can't this be one of the forwarding options and have the subject copied in?
Thanks,
Alex
Sorry, my statement wasn't quite right.
Edit as new is available in DIMP, but it responds differently (doesn't
copy the forwarded headers) to IMP (trad. view).
The other points are valid, and this difference can't surely be right, can it?
