Thanks for the ideas all!

That might be the way to do it, tbh I generally don't use my Gmail account for anything even moderately important (I check it maybe once ever couple weeks) but if I can figure out how to auto forward itineraries to both of us but other United.com correspondence just to my Exchange account that would work I think....

I've done this on a number of occasions in the past, but only for individual itineraries, not automatic. When you book, you can enter a second email address and phone # to be notified of the trip, changes, etc. Has always worked for me, but don't remember if you can only do it at the time of booking, not subsequently.
Of course, united.com may have changed things now.....
Hmmm...maybe. I need to read/look more carefully... I've definitely sent itineraries post-booking but AFAIK that's a one time snapshot of the itinerary as it exists at that moment and doesn't reflect subsequent updates. I haven't noticed a way at booking to add a 2nd email address but next time. I book a fresh res I'll have to look for that and see if it behaves as a snapshot or follows updates.
