Subject: Gnus: Forwarding mails: include attachments, blank To:, point position?
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:26:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E8A9E3E8-3078-4458-9054-6D9D80E515D0@math.ethz.ch> (raw)

Hi,

I figured out that with "F" (or "f") I can forward an email. There are three things which I wonder about:

1) Why are attachments not included in forwarded emails (at least I do not see them as attachments)? How can I automagically include attachments?
The reason is simple: It is easy to delete the attachments in case they are unwanted, but it's more work to attach them (which is often what I want when forwarding emails).

2) The forwarded email contains the original sender as "To:". Since this is almost never the person you want to forward the message to (otherwise one would have chosen a reply instead), one always has to delete this address first. Is it possible to have a blank field "To:" as default in forwarded emails?

3) A forwarded mail (but also a reply) in which the original email text is included, looks like this:
--text follows this line--
Sender Name <sender.email@foo.bar> writes:

(*)> Hi, I just wanted to write to you because ...
>
> Regards
>
> John

The point, by default, is at (*). Is it possible to have the point in the beginning of the line after "--text follows this line--", then a newline, then "Sender Name..."? Because either you want to just answer the whole mail (for which this position would be perfect) or you want to answer a specific part (for which you would have to move the point anyway). But having the point where it is by default is not ideal for any of these situations.

Cheers,

Marius
