I have an question about forwarding e- mails?

When you forward an e-mail to somone and that same e-mail has been forwarded many times do all those people get the same mail again or just the person you have forwarded it to. I hope someone out there understand my guestion. I know its a bit confusing......Sorry

    The email that you are forwarding just goes to the person you are forwarding it to. I might suggest that you hi-lite all the names it's already been forwarded to and then delete them before you forward the email to another person. That does two things: it keeps the other person who's receiving your email from seeing other people's emails and the person you are forwarding mail to doesn't have to scroll down to see the actual message you are trying to forward :) Hope this helps!

    When you are on that e-mail page, there is a forward button up there,press that and then you put in the e-mail address of the person you want to send it to and hit send. Hope it helps

    just the people you are sending to. The others will not get the mail again unless a reply to all is done and then only the last group that got and/ or sent the e-mail

    Only the person that you forward the email get the email, but say someone forwarded a message, and 11 people down the road you get it, and you foreward it on, only the person you foreward ti to gets it, but the email addresses that it has every been forewarded to are listed on the email

    1st I understand your question.

    2nd No only to the person you wanted to send it to. If you go to the arrow at the right of the forward button (more on it than to the right) click on it. Scroll down to forward list and you can type accounts you want to send the message to.

    Only the person(s) you forward it to will receive it. If you hit "reply all" then all the people that received it when you did will get a response from you.

    Just the one person you forwarded to.

    No the only way all the people on the email would get it if you were to hit REPLY to ALL.

    If you just hit forward the people you put in the address line are the only ones who get YOURS.

    im not sure but, if u want to reply u can chose to send it to all the people on the forward list or the sender that sent the forward email to you

    Just the one you forward it to.

    Look at the TO line of the message before you send it.
