+Forwarding and bouncing let you send a message to more recipients
+you specify.  Bouncing a message uses the <ref id="sendmail"
+name="sendmail"> command to send a copy of a message to recipients
+as if they were original recipients of the message.  Forwarding a message
+on the other hand allows you to add comments or modify the message
+before it is resend.
+
+Following keys are bound by default:
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+f       forward         forward message
+b       bounce          bounce (remail) message
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+Forwarding can be done by including the message in the new message's body
+(surrounded by indicating lines) or including it as MIME attachment,
+which is controlled by the <ref id="mime_forward"
+name="&dollar;mime&lowbar;forward"> variable, and with or without decoding
+attachments like in the pager, controlled by the <ref id="forward_decode"
+name="&dollar;forward&lowbar;decode"> resp. <ref id="mime_forward_decode"
+name="&dollar;mime&lowbar;forward&lowbar;decode"> variables.
+The desired forwarding format may depend on the content, therefore
+<em/&dollar;mime&lowbar;forward/ is a quad option and can be set to
+``ask-no'' for example.
+
+Messages are always forwarded with full headers, except when
+&dollar;mime&lowbar;forward=no, &dollar;forward&lowbar;decode=yes and
+<ref id="forward_weed" name="&dollar;forward&lowbar;weed">=yes
+(which is the default).
+
+Editing the message to forward is the same procedure as in sending or
+replying to a message.
