I've got two users, both with Outlook 2007. One of them receives an email from a third party. This email has 94 columns of data. When it's forwarded to the other person, the columns wrap at 80. How can I forward this message so that it always looks exactly the same to the other user?

I know what you're thinking: Tools->Options->Mail Format->Internet Format->Plain text options\Automatically wrap text at X characters. This works, but I don't know yet if it will create problems when forwarding any other messages.

In short: What I want to do is always forward messages in the same format that they were received. Can this be done?
 
You could forward the message as an attachment, but it pisses me off when people do that to me so I don't know how well it will go over.

Nothing irritates me more than getting the crap messages from friends (Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Funny) that require me to click on them 10 times in order to read them - they go right in the trash :) It does preserve the original message format though!
