I get all the email for a domain, and I need to be able to automatically
forward it to various people's "home" accounts, eg hotmail, yahoo,
btinternet, whatever.

However the Windows Mail forward rule appears to just take the text of the
original email, and send it as my account. The email address of the original
sender is lost (or at least, since it's only visible in the headers, is
effectively lost to non-technical ppl). What I need is to either forward
the message with some of the original headers (name, date) put into the body
of the email, or redirect the email using the original sender's email address
ie like the Outlook "redirect" functionality.

Anyone any ideas?

WM (and OE before that) can't do a true resend.
You would need to use Outlook for that.
