Is It Possible To Forward Mail?
I receive mail from a list and I want to forward all email from that list on to some colleagues.Is it possible to do that with Operas mail client?
Kind of.
You can create a label, add all the messages you want to it, right-click on the label and export it as an .mbs file. Then, you can attach the mbs file to a new email and send it (as long as the mbs file isn't too big). Then, any user that has a client that supports mbox files can save the mbs file to their drive and import it to import all the messages so they can be read.
If you want the files to be separate, you can ctrl + s each message separately to save each as an mbs file and then attach all the mbs files to a new message and send it.
But, not all clients support application/mime attachments. So, to do what other clients do when they forward messages, you need to do this:
* Save each message as an mbs file.
* Edit each mbs file with a text editor and remove the "From " line (the first line, not the 'From:" header line).
* Rename each mbs file to have an .eml extension.
* Goto "Ctrl + F12 -> advanced -> downloads" and edit the message/rfc822 type to add the "eml" extension to it.
* Compose a new message and attach all the .eml files to it.
Then, they'll be forwarded like Outlook/Outlook Express/Thunderbird would.

But, depending on the content of each list message, you could just select each message and choose "forward" or "redirect" and then send. A redirected message will be more like it was sent to them instead of having the "forwarded..." text etc. at the top of the message. But, with either of those, they can booger up complex emails. Should work great with text/plain messages though.
Thanks for the replies.
I was thinking more along the lines of auto-forwarding via some rules though.
So whenever I received a mail from the list it automatically forwarded it on to my colleagues without me having to do anything.
