"Forward to a Friend" Functionality

Unfortunately, the way all of the world's email works is that once an email is sent, the sender no longer has no control over the content.  If the email is forwarded, the decoration of the links would be sent as they were originally.  These link decorations contain the lead detail and munchkin cookies them appropriately.

So the options are:

1. Remove all functionality that affixes lead information to the sender.  This removes a good thing and takes away a bad thing.  I think this may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
2. Add in links in the email to share the content with others

We have taken the second approach with some designs we are planning in the coming months.  In addition to emailing to a new person, we will enable other social sharing capabilities. 

This is a tough problem that unfortunately has limited potential based on how the international email system is set up.

Is anyone aware of a smart campaign workflow that supports referrals such as "forward to a friend" functionality? For example, I'd like to include a link in my webinar invites for "Refer a Colleague" that allows the recipient to enter a colleague's name and email address. Then I'd like to see this trigger an email to the colleague that includes a reference to the referrer.

Not currently, but we are working on a feature to allow exactly what you are looking for.

We would value this functionality based on option 2 above - any idea on timing for this feature?!

Has this been implemented? I would like to use this for all our emails.

We are planning to deliver this feature by the end of this year.  Working hard to get the design just right .

(looking forward to it) - feel free to post some alpha design approaches if you want feedback on this feature

We don't send out so many e-mails that it's overwhelming, so my work around has been to create a unique landing page for each one that triggers the follow up e-mail.  It's not the most elegant solution, but it works AND we capture the new lead information are able to track that lead. 

For those of you interested in Forward to a Friend functionality, we are currently working on it!  Would you be interested in the ability to share emails socially (e.g. with Twitter, Linked In, Facebook), by adding the share buttons to an email?

Yes, I would definitely like the ability to share the emails socially as well. Thanks for workign ont this.
