Currently if a email recipient forwards that email to a peer, their lead information goes with it.  I'd like to see this fixed - lead information should not go along with the email.

Will I be able to add this "forward to a friend" Link  to an article within my newslettter and not just the entire newsletter?  If I just wanted to share(forward) a particular section of the newsletter, is that being considered?

We're also very interested in seeing Forward to A Friend functionality. We've used this heavily in Eloqua as a core feature. The social sharing within an email would also be great to have but not quite as important to us.

@Cheryl - Yes, absolutely.  In fact, we had both this (the social sharing feature) and the "forward to a friend" feature as part of our prior email service provider (Campaign Monitor - which isn't even an enterprise-level platform like Marketo is).  Now that we've migrated to Marketo, we're anxiously awaiting to have this functionality again.  BTW, with the forward-to-a-friend feature, all links within the forwarded email were modified on the fly to contain unique tracking code based on the recipient of the email.  And the reporting showed us who forwarded emails to friends (but didn't show us who those people were due to privacy laws).

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?

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.

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

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

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

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