1  FORWARD
   Sends a copy of the message you are currently reading (or have
   just read) to one or more users. Mail prompts you for the name
   of the user or users to whom you want to forward the message, and
   for a subject.

   If you change your mind about forwarding a message after you have
   already entered the FORWARD command, press Ctrl/C to abort the
   message. The MAIL> prompt is displayed.

   Format

     FORWARD
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/CC_PROMPT

      /CC_PROMPT
      /NOCC_PROMPT

   Enables the prompt for the CC: line in the mail header. At the
   CC: prompt, enter the names of other users to whom you want to
   send a copy of the mail message.

   The /NOCC_PROMPT qualifier disables the CC: prompt. The /CC_
   PROMPT and /NOCC_PROMPT qualifiers override the SET CC_PROMPT and
   SET NOCC_PROMPT commands.
 

/EDIT

   Invokes a text editor to edit the message you are forwarding.
   Unless you have selected a different editor, the TPU-based EVE
   editor is invoked.
 

/NOHEADER

   Enables you to forward a message without the original header
   information supplied by the user that sent it. The default is
   /HEADER.
 

/PERSONAL_NAME

      /PERSONAL_NAME=name
      /NOPERSONAL_NAME

   Specifies a personal name to be used when answering a message.
   A personal name is a field of text that is appended to the end
   of the From: field of mail messages you send. You can fill this
   field with your full name or any other information.

   The /PERSONAL NAME qualifier overrides the default personal name
   specified with the SET PERSONAL_NAME command for this message
   only. The /NOPERSONAL_NAME qualifier sends a message with a null
   personal name field.
 

/SELF

      /SELF
      /NOSELF

   Determines whether Mail sends a copy of the forwarded message
   to you. The default qualifier is /NOSELF unless you have used
   the SET COPY_SELF command to specify that copies be sent to you
   automatically. The /NOSELF qualifier overrides the SET COPY_SELF
   SEND command.
 

/SIGNATURE_FILE

      /SIGNATURE_FILE[=file-name]
      /NOSIGNATURE_FILE

   Specifies a file to be appended to the end of a mail message.
   The signature file contains text and has a default file type of
   .SIG. An example of a signature file is a text file formatted
   as business card, containing the user's company name, address,
   telephone, and Internet address.

   Specify the /SIGNATURE_FILE qualifier when you want to override
   the default established by the SET SIGNATURE_FILE command (if you
   want to send a signature file that is different from that default
   specification). If there is no default setting, specify the
   /SIGNATURE_FILE qualifier to interactively include a signature
   file with a particular mail message.

   To determine if the SET SIGNATURE_FILE command is in effect, use
   the SHOW SIGNATURE_FILE or SHOW ALL command.

   When you use the /SIGNATURE_FILE qualifier, note the following:

   o  When you create a mail message that includes a signature
      file, that message requires more temporary disk space than
      a conventional message because temporary files are created
      during the operation. After the message is sent, those
      temporary files are deleted.

   o  If you do not specify a directory, the Mail utility looks for
      the signature file in your mail directory.

   o  If you do not specify a file, the Mail utility uses the file
      specification in your user profile. If there is no default
      signature file in the profile, Mail will send the message
      without one.

   o  If a specified signature file does not exist, the system
      displays an error message.

   Specify the /NOSIGNATURE_FILE qualifier when you do not want
   to include a signature file with a particular mail message.
   Specifying this qualifier overrides the current setting,
   including any specifications in your user profile.
 

/SUBJECT

      /SUBJECT="subject-text"

   Prompts for the subject of the mail message to be sent. Use
   quotation marks (" ") around the subject heading to include more
   than one word, to print in lowercase letters, or to include any
   spaces or nonalphanumeric characters.

     To:         SOUND::BURTON
     Subj:       Snakes Again

     Beasts, under the earth, crawling...

     This example shows how to forward a message to a user
     (SOUND::BURTON) without the original header information (From:
     PRESTON, To: MARLEY, Subj: Snakes).

   2.MAIL> 7
     MAIL> FORWARD/EDIT
     To:         FOLEY
     Subj:       The Thatched Roof

     (The text of mail message 7 is displayed here, ready to be edited.)

     This example shows how to edit a mail message before forwarding
     it by using the FORWARD/EDIT command.
