Hello,
I'm relatively new to linux Mandrake so be gentle I have been using Evolution & have also tried kontact, my problem is sometimes when i try to forward emails that contain attachments, the attachments are striped out of the mail & to send these attachments i have to save them, then either create a new email or attach to the mail i'm forwarding.

Are they any email clients for linux that do not strip out the attachments & will forward the mail as is either with the jpg's inline or attached????
if so please advise i will be very gratefull

I am using Thunderbird as my email client. It does not seem to have any problem with keeping attachments (including inline graphics) with emails that are forwarded by me. If you would like to experiment with this yourself, Thunderbird can be found at:

Maybe what you want is the "Redirect" option. It's available under the "Forward" menu under the "Actions" menu in the menu bar.
