resending email messages

Why haven't the big brains over at Microsoft been able to figure out that
users need to "resend' email messages from time to time therefore there
should be a "resend" option button designed into their email tool bar?
Leaving that option off the table is like leaving your brains at home...seems
like common sense to me.

It's called 'Forward'

Unless your 'question' is specifically about vista then it
is off topic here.

Thanks Jan but "Forward" and "Resend" are two different things. Microsoft
Office Outlook has a "Resend" button that the user can easily click and your
message is resent just that quckly, without going through all the forwarding
business. Wonder why that option wasn't designed into the Internet Explorer
email tool bar or at least the means to insert it there? There are other
Internet Explorer email questions here so I followed suit, perhaps we are all
off topic then. Thanks again.

Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail and Hotmail don't have it, but Outlook has a
Resend option under Actions....

....sorry Dave, I meant in Microsoft Outlook Web Access that is found in
Windows Internet Explorer. I do have a resend message option in my Microsoft
Office Outlook 2007, but I have to access that choice by first choosing the
Open email option from the scroll down menu that pops up when I clik on the
original email line in the Inbox or wherever the email I want to resend is
located, then Open the email I want to resend and then when that email is
opened, another set of options also pop up on the toolbar with the "Other
Options" button visible which only then can I clik that allows me to then
scroll down for the "Resend this message" choice. Pretty complicated eh?
That option should be on the first window tool bar that opens with the newly
arrived Inbox email, instead, they hide it.

It's easy in Thunderbird... right-click on a message and select "Edit as
New..."
