Forwarding email format

[jmessick]

I have Office for Mac 2008 and use Entourage with Exchange. When I forward an email, it doesn't forward in the same format (all links are converted to plain text and no pictures forward) and I use HTML. I've checked the "Forward as received" option, but that doesn't work. Is there another option I'm missing?

Thank you!

Select the message, then choose Message>Forward as Attachment.

I appreciate your fast response, but if I do that, none of my employee's will be able to open that attachment on their Blackberry's. My Window's version of Outlook forwards emails in their original format, so I know it's possible (and I must be able to do so).

Any other thoughts? Thanks again for your help.

Not with Entourage, I'm afraid. Entourage's HTML creation capabilities are
extremely limited, and by forwarding a message, you force the HTML inside
the message to be re-encoded by Entourage's engine, hence the less than
reliable result. Outlook is more capable in that regards than Entourage, as
is Apple's Mail.app.

What happens if you copy/paste in a new message?

Well...assuming that the content is not more than the email window (you can't copy "up or down" if it's beyond the window size itself), it works fine. The integrity of the HTML message appears to hold together with cut/paste.
