message: createForward

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a draft to forward an existing message, in either JSON or MIME format.

When using JSON format, you can:

  • Specify either a comment or the body property of the message parameter. Specifying both will return an HTTP 400 Bad Request error.
  • Specify either the toRecipients parameter or the toRecipients property of the message parameter. Specifying both or specifying neither will return an HTTP 400 Bad Request error.
  • Update the draft later to add content to the body or change other message properties.

When using MIME format:

  • Provide the applicable Internet message headers and the MIME content, all encoded in base64 format in the request body.
  • Add any attachments and S/MIME properties to the MIME content.

Send the draft message in a subsequent operation.

Alternatively, forward a message in a single operation.
