I appreciate the fact that you're thoughtful enough to want to remove addresses from forwarded messages. Many people don't.
They forward e-mail without regard for the privacy of others.
Why is it important to remove e-mail addresses from forwardedmessages? If an e-mail containing a long list of e-mail addresses
is intercepted, it's a gold mine for spammers. Secondly, many people, myself included, like to keep their address private. Plus, who wants to scroll through those addresses to get to the good stuff.
When you forward a message, forward it as inline text, not as an attachment. The original e-mail is included in the body of your e-mail. Then you can highlight the addresses in the body of the e-mail. Click delete, and they're gone. You can also remove subject lines and the like.
You may need to set your software to forward messages as inline text.
To do that in Outlook:
--Click Tools>>Options.
--On the Preferences tab, click E-Mail Options
--Click Advanced E-Mail Options
--In the box beneath "When forwarding a message," select "Include
original message text." Click OK>>OK.
In Thunderbird or other Mozilla projects:
--Click Tools>>Options
--Click Composition
--Under Forwarding Messages, select Inline
--Click OK.
Outlook Express automatically forwards messages as inline text.
