Hello, I would like to learn how to forward an email and hide the original
sender's name/address.
I can set up the recipients to be Undisclosed but have not found a way to
hide the original sender.
TYIA,
Richard

After you click Forward, highlight and delete the original message info.

Thanks, Bruce.

I suppose I should have made it clear that when 'someone else" forwards my
email I would prefer that my ID not go with it.

In that case, I would not be a position to delete text.
Does my clarification bring something else to mind?
Thanks,
Richard

I don't know of any way you could control that. I always delete that info as
a matter of courtesy when I forward an e-mail, especially the ones from AOL
users that end up with hundreds of addresses. But that's me. Most people
don't care about other people's privacy.

According to the Subject, the OP wants to hide the original sender, not
the original list of recipients in the To/Cc headers. I can see
deleting the original list of recipients to protect their privacy, but
deleting the original sender is basically lying that YOU are the
original sender when, in fact, that is not true. If you *forward* an
e-mail then the original sender SHOULD be identified; otherwise, do not
forward and instead copy whatever portions of the original mail that you
want to put in your NEW mail to pretend that content is your own
invention.

By "original sender" I mean the person that wrote the first NEW mail,
not everyone else that happened to forward it. You should always
include the originator of the message as what you are forwarding is
their content. If a chain of users continue to keep re-forwarding that
mail then only include them as the original sender *if* they modified
the content (so you would show the original sender of the original
content and also show each "editor" along the chain of forwards). I see
no reason to hide the sender of a forwarded e-mail. I do see reason to
not include a list of recipients to which that e-mail got forwarded.
Simpy delete the To/Cc lines in each block of quoted material.

Of course, the above only works if you forward inline (i.e., the
original message gets placed into the body of the e-mail). If you
forward as an attachment (to include the headers from the sender) then
you can't get rid of the To/Cc headers in that attached copy of the
e-mail.

The only way you could prevent some one from including your name/e-mail
address as the original sender when they forward a message from you
would be for you not to include your name/e-mail address when you
originally send it.

In that case, the forwarder won't know who they got the message from and
might delete it as spam before reading.
