Guide Review - Redirect for Outlook 1.8 - Outlook Add-On
Redirecting emails is immensely useful. It lets you pass on messages to colleagues, for example, so they can operate on them as if they had received them from the original sender directly.
Unfortunately, no "redirect" command is available in Outlook.
Redirect for Outlook fills this gap, at least partly. Integrating seamlessly with Outlook (you can even use Redirect in your mail rules), Redirect makes it easy to redirect emails.
Unfortunately, Redirect for Outlook has to use a kind of workaround to achieve the desired effect of the original sender in the From: line. This works well if the recipient uses Redirect as well, but all others will see you in the From: line. Redirect is smart enough to set the Reply-To: header, though, so it is useful in any case.
