Welcome to the board.

I'm a former iPhone user and I can say unequivocally that the non-gmail email app for android is aweful!. While over all I love the android platform over the iPhone, this is one area that the iPhone beats the android.

It lacks any serious exchange interoperability especially with the many companies encryption group policies (android 2.2 addresses this to a degree). It also fails to forward html emails, but rather textifes them either showing the html code or just the text email. It does not support push (again 2.2 addresses this to a point).

I use touchdown for my exchange email needs as it supports those business group policies rules, and just live with the other short comings of the email app.

Being a newish android user, there may be other email apps that support forwarding html emails but I'm unaware of them.
