Save message attached to another message as separate message?

I always appreciate your insights.

There is so much brain power accessible through this forum that I turn to it when looking for alternate approaches to an issue.  Often an alternative approach proves valuable but sometimes none do.  Either way, I'm grateful for the feedback from anyone willing to take the time to share their thoughts.

In our office environment we often attach emails when forwarding to a co-worker.  Often there is a preference to separate the attached message because we often need to respond to the original sender so want a logical thread.  Also, the original headers are usually more meaningful than the headers of the forward.  I know it works to save the attachment as a .cnm in the mailbox directory but those directories are on a hidden share so are not readily available to the users.  Anyone know of any other ways?

You can select the attached message on the attachment pane and bounce (forward without editing) it to yourself. You don't even need to send it via SMTP, you can copy it from the queue to any folder you wish and delete the queued message after doing so.

Thanks Michael.

I will need to remember to disable the "send mail at once..." setting in order to capture from the queue.  I suppose a bounce would be as effective though.  Will be giving both a try.

Confirmed that a bounce to local user 'me' works but it adds "Forwarded by" and "Forwarded to" headers which I don't care for since the goal is to get a copy of the original message into a different mailbox.

Also, I had forgotten that at the office all outgoing messages are submitted to the Mercury queue so there isn't an opportunity to catch them in the Pegasus Mail queue.

Maybe you can figure out a solution using public folders, but I have no other ideas.
