Create an Inline-Forward Email

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.

Background: An inline forward quotes the original message's content within the body of the new message — the familiar "---------- Forwarded message ----------" style — as opposed to attaching the original as a message/rfc822 part (which AttachEmail does). Chilkat assembles the quoted body and headers for you, leaving the new message ready to address and send.
