Reply or forward

Reply - reply to the sender only.
Reply all - reply to the sender and everyone else who was addressed or copied on the message.
Forward - send the message on to a different address.

Click the action you want, and RoundCube opens the compose screen with the original message quoted (and, for a forward, attached).

Add recipients and send

Whether you are replying or forwarding, you can add more addresses in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields before you send. When you are ready, click Send.
