Create an Inline-Forward Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.ToForward method, which creates an inline-forward email based on this email. The forward is returned in the argument, and the source email is not modified. The returned email can be edited — adding recipients, prepending a note — before sending. This example forwards a message and adds a recipient.
