When I try to forward an email - half the page is filled with all junk code & data that would only be of interest to a techie for reasons that I have no idea about. If you forward an email in outlook, the automatic data that is put on top of the email is : sender, recipient, subject and date.

Please help. Its also difficult to delete some of these junk lines because the rows are still there when the text is deleted - very, very time consuming and irritating!!

Thank you if you help how to automatically not have the unnecessary stuff appear on your forwarded mail.

Thank you Airmail - so simple a solution!!!

Wish I had asked this question long ago instead of putting up wasting time to delete certain lines which took ages.

So much time wasted before but NO MORE NOW!
