When I forward an email it moves the original to deleted emails

This is strange, when I forward an un-opened email it the deletes the original email, the sent email does arrive as an attachment.

But as pointed out it deletes my original un opened email, does anyone else get this strange behaviour.

How can you forward mail without first opening it?
That doesn't seem to be posssible from the web interface that I'm using.

I assume you are selecting the message from the message list, and using the function 'Forward as attachment'.

When I do this, the original message is not affected in any way.

Yes that is what I did twice and it deleted both messages, but now I know I have to got to my deleted email box to get back the messages.

Just tried it again and its working correctly today....sigh
