How to remove metadata and path history from forwarded email

In contrast to the clean message produced by the email "reply" option, the "forward" option precedes the message body with a screenful of garbage. I can avoid this by always using "reply" then overwriting the "to" field but there must be a setting somewhere to produce clean "forwarded" emails... surely?
