Judy, For AOL mail saved on "My PC", I get the "not available for forwarding" popup --- usually --- but one mail "saved on my PC" dated 2005 forwarded just fine. (?!) Strange. But for all mail saved "on AOL", I never get that "not available for forwarding" (so far). I just now successfully forwarded several mails saved "on AOL" for the years 2005 and 2006 with no problem, just to be sure my recollection wasn't faulty. My experience, insofar as reliable saves of old AOL mail, is that saving "on AOL" is much safer than with saving "on my PC". Numerous incoming e-mails in "my PC" have turned up empty over time. And many of those that I sent that include forwards to others no longer show what was forwarded. Same with attachments. So, again, saving on "my AOL" seems to be much safer, and preserves the e-mail accurately without loss of forwarded content and of attachments.

When I have tried Forward from saved ON the AOL servers, the message from AOL says the email is no longer available for forwarding.
