How can I stop forwarded emails displaying all that header rubbish, please ?

When I forward an email, there's a huge header that I can't remove. It annoys most of my recipients, many don't see what I've written and don't reply, some think I've got a virus and delete the email.

I'm talking about all the lines as below:

X-Account-Key: X-UIDL: X-Mozilla-Status: X-Mozilla-Status2: X-Mozilla-Keys: Delivered-To: Received: X-Received: Return-Path: Received: Received-SPF: Authentication-Results: DKIM-Signature: X-Thread-Info: Received: Received: Content-Type: MIME-Version: Message-ID:


I'd also like Thunderbird to stop displaying these fields on emails I receive.

I still have the problem of all the header rubbish appearing on emails that I forward to people, even though only the 'normal headers' box is checked. Can anyone help? Thanks

Headers set to normal should fix this for all sends and printing. Try toggling the setting to All and then back to normal.
