SOmetimes I get the cutest emails from friends with pictures &  maybe sound.
I would love to be able to just click on "forward" & have that cute email
forwarded to my friends in its entirety.  Instead only the words portion
gets forwarded & my friends are wondering why I'm wasting their time with
my boring paragraph.  There must be a way to forward the complete email,
but I don't know how.

Dear Help Needed, 

What kind of email programme/procider are you using?

I'm now using gmail but before used Netscape & could not forward properly with
that email provider either.  I also use Internet Provider & Comcast; but I
don't think that makes any difference.  Thanks.

I agree, the intuitive thing to do would be to forward the attachment
along with the text. Most email programs, alas, do not do this. One
exception to this is Gmail <www.gmail.com>; with Gmail, when you click
?forward? it assumes you want to forward all attached files as well
(you can, of course, remove any you _don?t_ want to send). Otherwise,
your only option when forwarding emails with attachments is to first
save the attachment to your computer, click ?forward,? and then
re-attach the file. Best of luck!

You need to go into tools in your email programme.  Select options
from the drop down menu, then click on the security tab in the box
that opens.  Here you will see various options, deselect the button
for stopping attachments.

GMail does grant you this ability, but I know that the latest version
of Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/) will
forward the entire email bundle, attachments and all. It will show as
one attachment, but if you double click it - it will open and show all
orginal attachments.
