How can I easily forward an email without the header (the part that will show above the email I want to send)

I want to forward an email, but not disclose who I sent it to previously. I can sometimes delete the 4 lines showing the previous recipient, date and time using backspace, but sometimes the background structure won't delete so there are 4 blank lines and it's time consuming. Is there an easy way? Thanks, Jim

Three suggestions:

1) Sometimes, "Edit As New Message" might be a cleaner way to re-send an existing message.

You can find this option under Message in the main menu, or by right-clicking the message in question.

2) The header section is presented as a table. If you place the cursor in one of the cells, you should see the little markers as shown in the attached image. Clicking the tiny cross will delete the whole row or column, which is rather faster than chasing the text contents around. Beware; the little arrows to the side, or above and below will insert new columns or rows!

Since the headers are offered in a table with two columns, you can delete the whole thing with just two clicks. My image shows it lined up with the right-hand column displaying its tool. A click on the central X just above "not correctly" will remove this right hand column. Then go put your cursor on the word "Subject" and you can do the same for the remaining column.

3) Another approach; a couple of the kaosmos add-ons can change headers into plain text, rather than tables, so this makes selecting and deleting the text a bit simpler.
