Assuming "old addresses" means the original senders and recipients: 1) Forward inline, and edit the address fields as you see fit. In the case of forwarding as plain text: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Forwarding emails Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2013 23:08:42 -0800 (PST) From: Anne <annemchamb...@gmail.com> <<<= delete this line Newsgroups: mozilla.support.seamonkey However, if you forward as HTML (see below), you need to delete the entire table row (place the cursor in any cell in the row and click the (X) at the left edge of the cell) or else the underlying code will still contain the email link(s). It's not enough to just delete the address and leave the rest of the From: row. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Forwarding emails Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2013 23:08:42 -0800 (PST) From: Anne <annemchamb...@gmail.com> <<<= delete this row Newsgroups: mozilla.support.seamonkey 2) If you need to forward as an attachment, I don't have a simple solution, only a workaround for advanced users. Perhaps someone else can offer something better. a) Within SeaMonkey, copy the message to a temporary folder so that it's the only message in that folder. b) Close SeaMonkey. c) Locate the temporary folder within your SeaMonkey profile folder (sorry, can't offer details for Mac) and open it with a plain-text editor. d) In the message header, locate the addresses you want to strip and delete them. Save the file. e) Restart SeaMonkey and look at the message in the temporary folder. The address fields should be blank. f) Forward the edited copy, not the original. The original message that you copied at the beginning should be intact, even if you fouled up the copy. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B. Gallagher
