You don't necessarily only want to file the emails you receive, of course you might want to reply to them or send them on to other people. So if you receive an email and you want to do one of those things, just open it up and then you've in your respond options, you've got, you can reply, reply all or forward which I'm sure many of you used before. There's some keyboard shortcuts for these though. So you can use Control R for reply, you can use control shift R for reply all and you can also use Control F for forward. So that's all pretty standard stuff. However, let's just sticking with forward for a second. If we forward an email, look at what happens. We get, it's obviously it's gonna come from us now but we get the FW and the colon in the subject line and we also get the details of who sent the original message and when also and we don't always want to include that. I mean you can manually remove it of course, but there's another way that's probably a little bit quicker. So what we can do instead of forwarding it is resend. Now if we go to this Move menu in the message ribbon, message part of the ribbon and click on the down arrow, we've got more move actions. And there we have resend this message. And this says Create, it will create a message with the same recipient list, subject and body to send the message again. Okay? Now it is really designed for you to resend a message that you've already created, okay? However, we can fudge it. So we can use it as a kind of a quick forward. It does say you do not appear to be the original sender of this message. Are you sure you want to resend? If you hit, Yes, now you'll notice, actually it'll be harder for you to notice here 'cause they are both my outlook.com email addresses. So what you would have to do is obviously read, change your Recipient list and make sure it's now coming from you. So if I wanted to make this from my feoutlook.com address and I could send it to maybe my Gmail address. Okay, I can then just hit send. What you will notice though is that none of the details have been captured that were there when we looked at forwarding the message earlier. And we also, we don't have the FW coal on there either. So it's just another way of forwarding on a message. Oh, and one more thing, of course, if you are wanting to resend your own message 'cause very often people say can you send me that email again? Yeah. Those kinds of things. Don't go to Forward, go to Resend. 'Cause it'll happen much quicker. You'll have to think about it. And in that instance, you don't need to change anything at all.
