    Never noticed you could forward and move messages between bases on Mystic before, just ran in to it by accident:
    Full-Screen Message Reading Help

    Use arrow/home/end/page up/page down keys to navigate around a single
    message. You can also use ENTER to move down a page or to the next message
    if you are at the end of a message. The left/right arrow keys can be used
    to move to previous and next messages, while pressing ESCAPE will exit.

    The following hot-key commands are also available:

    (A) Show Message Again (G) Goto Next Base in Scan
    (I) Ignore Remaining Messages (J) Jump to a Message
    (N) Next Message (P) Previous Message
    (R) Reply to Message (T) Toggle NewScan Setting
    (X) Export Message (L) Lightbar Message List
    ([) Previous Message in Thread (]) Next Message in Thread

    Message Owner Options:

    (D) Delete Message (F) Forward Message
    (E) Edit Message (M) Move Message

    Yes you can... it is possible to write something then post it to another echoarea or network with relative ease. The forwarded message does not show
    as forwarded when posted to the destination message base when you use the menu option which to me is unfortunate as it would be good to see it was
    originally posted in XYZ echoarea in XYZ network.

    Mystic takes care of adding the correct network tearlines to messages
    forwarded into new networks as well.

    Best, Paul
