I would have to class that as a bug then. All mail systems I have ever used have the option of forwarding, and in every case they literally do that, forward. Just like your postage service, they don't keep a copy of the mail, they just stick it in a new envelope and forward it on.

Otherwise, it is not forwarding, it is "send another copy to" feature.

Definitely a bug.

However, the idea of keeping a copy and sending a copy, is a nice feature. I can't think of an occurence where I would use it yet, but there is probably some really good reasons to keep a second copy - eg: providing a way of archiving important mail AND sending it to a distribution list or something...

So should I now raise this as a bug in Bugzilla?
