Forward email using EWS managed api keeping the headers

I am looking for a sample code on how to forward an existing email message (one that is already in my inbox) using the managed api.

When forwarded is there some way to keep a message original headers while forwarding it? for example someone sent an email to me -i would like that ews will forward it to another recipient without changing the headers (original receive time from ,bcc etc...).

Given an EmailMessage object, you can just call the CreateForwareMessage() method:

var forwareMessage = item.CreateForward();

Regarding the other question: Get the MIME content of the mail and attach it to a new message:

item.Load(new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly, ItemSchema.MimeContent));
var mail = new EmailMessage(service);
var attachment = mail.Attachments.AddFileAttachment("Original message.eml", item.MimeContent.Content);
attachment.ContentType = string.Format("message/rfc822; charset={0}", item.MimeContent.CharacterSet);
mail.ToRecipients.Add("hkrause@infinitec.de");
mail.Subject = "testmail";
mail.SendAndSaveCopy();

EDIT:

Create forward message and set reply to header:

var fw = item.CreateForward();
var fwMsg = fw.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Drafts);
fwMsg.ReplyTo.Add("personA@company.com");
fwMsg.SendAndSaveCopy();
