Forwarding eMail from SOST

Hi Dominic,

This morning I had a requirement to resend/forward a workflow email 
(this not a notification with a workitem link) that was in the SOST 
queue to an additional email address. All the buttons in the application 
toolbar are disabled except for the "New Message" button. I do have 
SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW auths. DO you have any idea how to enable the Forward 
option?

Thanks,
Ramki.
