how to re-send a sent message in Outlook Express 6?

[sallam]

I'm truly frustrated that Outlook Express 6, though full of detailed features, lack a simple 're-send' button, or even, a message menu option. Outlook 2002 has a resend option in menu>message when you open a sent message. I stopped using Outlook 2002 because OE is way much better in many ways. A resend feature is the only thing I miss in OE.


I know how to forward, edit, then type the Email address. But it is a waste of time and dumb to do so.


How come the Microsoft guys stuff OE with the most powerfull features, and yet skip the simplest feature of a 'resend' button?

Does anyone knows how to re-send in OE6, and I mean re-send, not by forwarding, not by saving then editing?

The weird thing is the the MAC version of OE6 has this feature.

yes, I noticed that, it only adds to the frustration :confused: :mad: :confused:

If you mean the reply button, it will send to me, not re-send to the other party. Perhaps I dont get what you mean, could you please explain further?

Hi sallam - sorry, my post should have read "Reply All". This is not a very elegant solution because it does mean that you will also get an email sent to you but it might do if you are in a hurry.

not only that. It also produce a message that I must spend time to edit, taking out the 'original message....' crap, and all the >>>>
Unfortunately, my nerves are not that elastic :p
thanks for your trying to help me though :)
