    How do I find out who I forwarded/redirected/bounced a message to?

    I have a message in a folder, it has a red arrow indicating it has been forwarded.  How do I find where it went?  I know if I edited the message while forwarding it would be in my "Copies to Self", but what about if I take option two in the forwarding dialog and "Forward the messages without editing (redirect, or "bounce")?

    If you received a bounced message the first header in it is "Resent-from:", which indicates who forwarded it to you (right?).  I can't see anything at the forwarders end tho, that tells them where they sent it.

    Thanks

    Under Tools:Options:Reporting/logging do you have a check mark against 'Keep a log of messages sent' ?

    If so, search the file SYSLOG.PM in your home directory for the subject of your mail.

    Thanks Paul.

    No I didn't have that box checked - now I do.

    It's better than nothing, but are there any plans in future Pegasus releases to have details of bounced messages in a more friendly place?  Copies to self for example.  I realise that's possibly not the best place, but I think there should be some indication somewhere.  What do other email clients do?

    Not sure.  Some can't even do bounces.
