"edit as new" in gmail?

[Jeff Loats]

Hi all,

I recently moved to gmail (from Thunderbird) as my total email solution and I am enjoying it thoroughly.

So far, one thing I am really missing is the option to "edit as new" in Tbird. This would take a given email and open it as it was just before it was sent. You can then change anything you want (who it is to, a few words in the body, etc). This makes it very easy to send similar but not identical messages to several people quickly.

Does anyone know of a way to make this happen in gmail? Any workarounds that aren't just copy and paste?

Thanks!

Jeff

Hi,

Try "Forward".

Ha!

Actually I'm a college professor and I end up sending similar emails
to lots of students throughout a term (for example I have a template
for what a student should do when they miss a class).

Indeed I suppose the forwarding method will work, I don't think I
realized how little gmail messed with a message when it was forwarded.
Though it requires some cleanup of the subject line and the top of the
message.

Thanks for the help!

Jeff
