What I'm saying is I don't see enough difference to justify another icon and trying to keep up with what it does that's different. Can you, George, anyone tell me what "Forward" does in English words and then tell me what "Redirect" does in English words? These subtle examples aren't getting it done. Roy Patton

One more try..... The redirected messages ALL come with the original sender's name in the "from" field. It looks just exactly like the original message with the exception of the "<by way of>" added AFTER the original sender's name. The message looks like an original.....except for the "<by way of>" blurb in the from line. A forward puts the whole message in question into the BODY of the forwarded message....headers and all. Also has the brackets ">" at the beginning of each line of text. It LOOKS like a forward...not an original. Does that help to clarify it better?
