Hello & nice to meet you!
I am having an issue with forwarding emails. Whenever I use the forward option, the full email header details are copied into the mail. This happens no matter whether the VIEW->HEADER option is set to full or normal. Does anybody know how to stop this from happening? The normal 4 or 5 lines of header would be fine, but not the 50-line extended header info. Forwarding ist set to "inline" by the way.
I have had some hints in this thread on the TB support forums, but was unable to get a solution:

Thanks for your help!

This is a TB question and not TBP. You'll get better answers at mozillaZine.org than you will here. This forum is devoted to portability issues. Not general use issues.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I agree with you, but a moderator at mozillaZine.org referred me here and I decided to give it a try.
Thanks anyway,
Myriam
In case somebody else has the same issue, here is the solution:
Select an Email from your Inbox and open it. Now select VIEW->Headers from the menu above. No matter what it says (all or normal), change it to the other option. Close the message and close Thunderbird.
If you just changed it to say "normal", you are done and the full header details should not appear anymore while forwarding.
If you just changed the setting to "all", you will have to repeat the process to change it back to "normal".
I had checked the settings under VIEW before, but not in an edit window, but in the normal main Thunderbird window. This makes a difference.
The problem appears to be triggered by certain mails that you receive. Once you forward them, the issue appears again. Use the solution above to fix it. The issue may reappear, or disappear by itself after a while, but now you know how to get rid of it.
Thanks & regards,
Myriam
