More useful CiviMail Forwards Report?
May 30, 2013, 10:50:18 am
Hi all,

One of our mailing list recipients was busy last night - forwarded a mailing to 57 contacts, which have now duly been added into the database.  However, I note that there doesn't currently appear to be an activity associated with them (ie, "received forwarded CiviMail") nor does the report list who received the forwarded messages - only the person doing the forwarding.

Is there any way to grab this info? I could theoretically build an advanced search to find it out.

Cool. Out of curiosity, are your recipients using the forward feature often? In our tests, if there is a fwd it's done using the "normal" mail forward feature and almost never using the civi native feature.

@Xavier: This is the first big-time usage of the feature that we've seen.  In the past, there has been one or two forwards per mailing, and they were actually mostly people forwarding from an obsolete email address to a new email address (easy to catch). 

These 57 contacts were the first time I've actually seen the feature used in earnest.
