what is the difference between Reply and forward in email?

Reply only sends the new message to the original sender. Reply all sends the new message to the original sender and all other recipients on the To and Cc lines. Attachments are not included. Forward allows you to type in a whole new set of recipients.

How do you tell if a forwarded email has been changed?
