Vista - Bounce instead of forward

Bounce instead of forward

In a mail program I used in the past I could "bounce" a message as part of
the forwarding function. When "bounced" to another e-mail, it looked as
though the message came from the original sender. Is there a function in
Windows Mail that does this?

Not in Windows Mail.
That feature is available in Windows Live Mail:

You're welcome.
Once you get WLM installed, go to its Tools, Safety Options, Blocked Senders,
and click the Bounce box. I recommend you use this feature only for selected
individuals, not for general spam.

Re: Bounce instead of forward

I have downloaded Windows Live Mail but I do see anyway to "bounce" mail so
that it sends in the original sender's name. I can forward a message but it
will look like it came from me, not from the original sender. I am missing
something?

Re: Bounce instead of forward

Thanks Gary. I did that and understand that bounce. That is not what I am
trying to do. Sometimes I want to "send" a message from my laptop to my
desktop but I want the desktop message to show that it is from the original
sender instead of me. In that way I can reply to them. My program that I
have been using for years has that capability. It is Pegasus but there are a
lot things I like about Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail. Thanks again for
your help but I don't think these programs have that capability.

Re: Bounce instead of forward

Does it help to click on Message, then Forward As Attachment?

Re: Bounce instead of forward

What you describe is actually a function called Resend.
Sorry for misunderstanding.
Neither Windows Mail nor Windows Live Mail has it.
