I have my email set to "Block images and other content from remote

Or: break your Internet connection and Send Later. Then reestablish -- I
don't /think/ SM would load content for a message already composed, but
the experts will tell us.

Alright! That seemed to work: I click the little connector in the lower right, click Forward, then click the Send button (which now shows "Send Later" because the connection is open), click the little connector, click OK to the "Send messages now" dialog, and off it goes. When I received it at my other account, it still did not have the remote content.

A little clunky, but it works! Thanks!

A couple of notes on this option:

1) If you're forwarding the message as HTML and the recipient has his program set up to load remote content, it will do so in order to display the HTML -- even if you did not send the remote content. You did send instructions to load the remote content, after all.

2) The consequence of this is that if someone /else/ loads a web bug intended for you, it will have the same effect as if /you/ loaded it -- the spammer will detect that it was loaded and realize that you're a "live one."

Still, the message as sent will not actually include the remote content, so it will be lightweight for purposes of message size in transmission.
