Distinguish between autoforwarded and forwarded emails

I want to distinguish between auto forwarded emails from someone (Auto forward rule) and manually forwarded emails from that person (Forwarded by pressing forward button manually). I don't want to look at the email content for this information.
Maybe I find this information in the email header.

Any ideas on how to do this using code?

for auto forwarded emails when you view the email. Just above the "From" section but just below the ribbon, it says something like: "This message was AutoForwarded."

I just auto forwarded an email from my Gmail account to Company account.
In outlook, the email does NOT say "This message was AutoForwarded."

Any ideas?

ALL my regular mail is Auto Forwarded to me. The mail just says (in Properties) came from where is was forwarded.

I do not think you can tell. Nothing really different between my forwarded mail and non forwarded mail.

There should be a standard way to do this. I know that it is possible, but I am not getting the solution.

I have had emails daily forwarded to me for years and there is no distinction.

Please say why and give us a reference why you know it is possible.

I found the solution. We have to use the Header Item "X-Forwarded-For" to identify the AutoForwarded Email.

That's helpful. You have to build special emails. None of my forwarded emails have an X-Forwarded-For header. So it is only your special emails that will work.
