This is the correct procedure if you just want to 'OK' the message without
changes.

Since you are using Forte Agent mailer (my favorite) use Forward Unquoted
to make the changes.  Be sure you leave in the line ("so and so said...")
to identify the original author.  The edited posting will appear to be from
you.

Also, unless your list has clear rules about being moderated (where the
editor has the power/right to modify user messages without advance
permission) you would be better advised to send the msg back to the
original author with your concerns and let them make the changes.  In any
case, it is probably a courteous practice to send a copy of the edited msg
to the author.
