forwarding messages without all the previous addresses

[Grace]

In outlook express I could click forward then select and delete all the
previous addresses. It does not work the same in Outlook 2007. Any
suggestions? It must be possible.

Depends on whether you:
- Forward as attachment.
- Forward inline.

Forwarding inline strips out all the headers of the original message and
only inserts the body of the original post into the body of your new
post (along with a couple attribution lines for From, Subject, etc. The
recipient of your inline forwarded message will NEVER get the original
e-mail. They get your modified copy of only its body.

If you forward as attachment, the recipient gets a copy of the original
message, including all its headers. They actually get a copy of the
original e-mail instead of your modified and stripped-down version.

When you forward, the recipient list is whatever you chose for
recipients. The To, Cc, and Bcc fields are blank until you enter the
recipients so it is completely up to you as to who will receive your NEW
message (with the original one attached or part of it in the body of
your new message). It doesn't matter whether you have selected forward
as attachment or forward inline. When forwarding, there is no clue as
to whom you want your new message sent so it is you that makes up that
list of recipients.

What do you find different? What does it do or not do that you find odd?
What makes you think that because one program has a particular behavior that
another, unrelated program should also behave the same way?

It works the same. The addresses in the Forward are part of the message body
which you can select and delete.

In fact, when I select the addresses in the message there IS NO delete button
or selection on the tool bar available, only cut/copy which I have used, then
deleteD from the clipboard. If I select the addresses before creating a new
message theN the original message is deleted. I just cannot find any delete
capability once I have created a forward message.

When I forward an inline e-mail which has been forwarded several times I do
not want to include all of those previous recipients addresses. I could
previously select those and click delete to then forward only the information
portion. In Outlook 2007 there is no such delete button or dropdown window
in the "forward message" window.

It's just text. Why not simply press Forward, select the text you want to
have removed and then use the Backspace or Delete button on your keyboard?
Why are you looking for/expecting menus for this?
