296068 - New feature: "Turbo Redirect"

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Nick Fankhauser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050519 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050519 Firefox/1.0.4

A VERY usefull feature would be a function like "Turbo Redirect" in Edora.
Unlike forwarding, this would redirect the message directly and it would still
seem to come from the original sender to the person you redirected it to. And
the message text isn't inlined or attached, but "normal". I would really
appreciate this feature!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get Mail
2. Wishing I could redirect it (not just 2 types of forwarding)


Actual Results:  
Can't do it!

Expected Results:  
Have a redirect function.

not really a dup - bug 12916 does reply and forward, but not redirect.

It really is a dup - "Bug 12916 Allow bounce/redirect of mail messages". Read it
again.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
