outlook 2007 add-in button in c# with mailitem forward not working

I'm trying to develop a button in outlook 2007 that will basically let a user
click on one or multiple mail items (exchange 2007) and click this button..
the email(s) then get forwarded to a specific address..

So far i have a loop that checks the selecteditem in the selection list..
and if its a mailitem.. it does:

mailitem.forward() and mailitem.send(), while specifying the TO portion...

This doesnt quite work.. it seems the email they click on gets emailed
fine.. but its not really a forward.. its basically stripping the TO section
out of the original and sending it as if it came from the original person in
the from section.

I need true forward ability.. ie: they click it then the button then the
person on the other end has a FW: subject and normal body with forwarded
items.

Is there another command i should be using.. any thoughts?

Thanks
