Hello,
Could you please explain the difference:
1. I'll send you the details later.
2. I'll forward you the details later.
Thank you.

Forward is normally related to having got the things from others first.
Think: pass
----
FORWARD (http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/unabridged?book=Third&va=forward+)indicates a sending on or forward, usually of something stopped, delayed, or missent <forward a letter> <if sent in a commercial code the censor, before passing it, decodes the message and if he considers that the message might contain a hidden meaning, the cable is never forwarded -- H.O.Yardley>

Thank you very much, Marius.
I also searched on forward in JustTheWord and now I've got a good idea of its usage.
