| 1322492 | 2013-01-12 22:09:00 | Hi guys This may seem a dumb question but. I often want to send an email that I sent to one address to another address a few days later. The only way I can see to do it is to use the Forward feature. I type in the new sender address all OK. But in the body of the email it has an annoying "box" with the original email address in it. It always takes me a while to delete this box (really its two boxes) and I end up with a whole lot of line spaces at the top of the email. Shirley there must be an easy way to send an email to someone else the next day ? Thanks |

| 1322493 | 2013-01-12 23:21:00 | Right click on the email address in the previous mail and "Compose message to" edit: or just type the first couple of letters and let it autocomplete ... or just type the address :P |

I left click and hold to select the whole of the unwanted address material and then press delete. If you delete line by line you'll get the empty box structure which tends to defy deletion, but if you block delete including lines before and after the box it works ok. |

| 1322498 | 2013-01-13 07:59:00 | @Mushhead Yes that is the answer thanks Its so easy when you know how, but it is sort of hidden away. Any thanks a lot |

| 1322500 | 2013-01-13 17:02:00 | @Coldot And that is what I used to do, but then you end with a with a few blank lines before the start of your message, AND if you delete those lines it suddenly deletes all the line breaks and you end up with one solid paragraph of text that you have to edit and enter paragraph breaks. So Mushheads tip is great. I had searched like mad to try to find the solution even on Thunderbirds help pages and google. (still I suppose its an obscure thing to want to search for) |
