How do you forward a single e-mail to someone and not the whole string?

Asked by trailsillustrated (16804points) December 10th, 2009

Is there a way to foward a single email someone sent me to someone else, without sending all of the previous along with it? Like not sending the whole thread, just the latest one?

Either copy and paste it into a new message, or simply highlight and delete the old threads.

Is this Gmail?

Yes, copy and paste. That would probably be the easiest way.

trailsillustrated's avatar

is there a quick key way to do this? (not select all that includes the whole string)?

Highlight what you want with the mouse. Hit Ctrl-C to copy, then place the cursor where you want to paste it and hit Ctrl-V.

@trailsillustrated Not dumb, just computer illiterate. It’s OK.

For us it is easy to copy and paste.

But I come across so many people that have a hard time with copy and paste.

If there was only a simple function/macro to do it.
