Sending a text message from iPhone to desktop Mac

I want to send a copy of a text message from my iPhone to EMAIL (not Messages). I can send it to the iMac's Messages app, but not to Mail. When I try the standard procedure (click-&-hold on the text box, choose "More", click Forward arrow, enter email address), it goes to Messages, not Mail. Not a big deal, but I'd like to know if there's a way.


iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Hello  khjalmarj,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. 


We're happy to help with forwarding text messages to emails. It is currently not possible to forward text messages to an email account outside of Messages. You can let Apple know that you'd like this feature to be available in the future:
