Thanks - I was hoping there was a setting in Preferences even if I couldn't find one. Original email addresses can be stripped (laboriously) by using the 'edit message as new' function but surely, if Micro$oft Outlook Express can provide it as an optional function, SeaMonkey can too ? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
