      Hi tomsee,
      Thanks for coming and leave your thought here.
      There are two possible ways that you can do:

      First:
      While you on step #6 on the steps I've mentioned above, tap the required contact email (If you already saved the email address on your contact) then tap Send button.

      Second way:
      1. Save your mms picture first. If you don;t know how to do this, please read in our post. Here's the link:http://inside-galaxy.blogspot.com/2013/04/samsung-galaxy-s3-how-to-save-mms.html
      2. Open the picture from your Gallery app.
      3. Tap Share icon.
      4. Tap See all...
      5. Tap Email.
      6. Enter your email address on To field.
      7. Tap Send button to send the email.

      Hope this helps :)

      Hi Mid-Nite Minaj,
      Thank you for coming.
      Does it happen every time you forward a message? Also, what do you mean by "everyone's contact info"?

    I have a Galaxy 3 and I received a picture as a message following the above instruction does not work. I went to apps and select messaging, selected the picture message and then nothing about forward pops up. Doesn't matter if I try to drag it it will not move. So what gives?

      Hi Nick Crisci,
      Thanks for coming.
      Try to long tap (not a single tap) in the message to get a pop up menu. Here you should find the 'Forward' option.
      Hope this helps :)

      Hi Darren Regan,
      Thanks for coming.
      If you just want to forward the content of the SMS you can do so through the Messaging app by forwarding the SMS to the required email address (this will convert the SMS to the MMS) or you can copy the content then paste it in the email and send it from there.
      While, if you want to forward the SMS along with the sender's number and name(when the contact is already in the Contacts app) as you have said in your another comment, then you might have to try an app called Relay me. This app has the ability to forward the SMS along with the sender number and name. The flaws of this app is it will auto forward all incoming SMS to the email.

      Hope this helps :)

    How do I forward an ENTIRE text message to an email address? I know how to forward a picture WITHIN the text message but when I long press the message I get no option to forward. The only options I get are the following:
    - Delete
    - View Contact
    - Add to spam numbers
    Does anyone know how to forward the entire message and not just a picture contained in the message.?
