           Summary: The forward option in Evolution cause serious problems
                    in current design
           Product: SUSE Linux 10.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Evolution
        AssignedTo: kharish@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: alpha096@xxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: anagappan@xxxxxxxxxx


Request for Functional Change - due severe limitations of current design 

When the Forward option is chosen for a message the original message is sent
attached to a new message

As this is an attachment this presents major problems communicating with any of
the many companies, authorities that not only strip all attachments from
inbound email but also often strip any HTML code and only leave plain text.

Under the current system of the forwarded email being an attachment, the
recipient at the Bank, and ANY Abuse,NOC,Webmaster,Support departments and just
about every ISP on the planet will receive a blank email.

The work around is to use the Reply and replace the return address with the
intended one, however this has a serious impact on the header information..

As it stands there is almost no value in the current method of forwarding
emails.
