A post on macOSXHints reveals a tip that was news to me.

If you want to forward selected attachments in an email you have received, highlight them, click Forward (or Command-Shift-F) and a new message appears containing only the attachments you have selected.

Of course, this is just an extension of the standard behaviour with selected text. Blocking a selection of text in an mail and then starting a forwarded message (or a reply for that matter), opens a new message containing only that selected text.

Still, I had never thought of applying it to attachments. Nice one.mail.app, apple mail, text, forwarding, attachments, messages, tips

Hawk Wings reader Allan emails to ask if there is a simple way in Mail.app to forward the HTML eNewsletters he sometimes gets to other people.

You would think so. It’s a fairly common task. It’s the kind of information-sharing and communication that the Internet and email are supposed to provide.

But there isn’t.

There is, however, a work-around for this using the “Re-direct option”.

This works, but has a downside. The email will appear in the recipient’s Message List as coming from the original sender, although the first header in the Preview Pane clearly says, “Resent-From: [Your name]”.

Otherwise you need to use the same work-arounds as you use to compose true HTML emails in Mail.html, enewsletters, mail.app, apple mail, forwarding, redirect, composing, tips
