I am on several people's Joke Lists and get some really good stuff
that I would like to pass on - so I use "Edit Message as New"

I strip out all the forwarded addresses everyone leaves in them
(nice source of E-Mail addresses for spammers).

Many of these things are some kind of framed large letters with
cartoons things which I don't know how to "Edit".

They seem to have been copied over and over or else messed with
such that they have multiple "Frames" around them.

I can delete some frames with the SM E-Mail editor, but some of this
stuff seems graphically linked together and won't allow much manipulation.

Use this (Alkaspace) hosting link to see what I mean.

What the Heck program was used to set these kinds of things up ?
Is this from Outlook Express ?

If so, how could I transfer one of these to that program to modify
or clean it up ? and then put it back into SM's mail to send out?

Not a big deal...would like to know.

How can Outlook Express be used as an editor w/o using it to retrieve one's mail ?

DoctorBill


DocBill, I used to edit jokes sent to me, to edit out the other email address, just as you are trying to do.

I think I used to save the email (File|Save as|File), then open the file in MS WORD or whatever, edit out all the garbage, then cut the good stuff and paste it into a new mail.

HTH

Yes..I've been trying to do that in WORD, but often whatever the Message was composed in is not readable by WORD.

All I get is the ASCII stuff in TXT form.

God knows where the "Original" crap came from !

I wonder if some of it isn't just Crtl-C'd off a web site (HTML ?) and pasted into an E-Mail !(?)

I know many folk use Outlook Express.

But Googling the subject indicates (am I wrong?) that Outlook Express must be run as one's E-Mail Composer.

Can I be run w/o connecting to the Internet just as an E-Mail editor of
messages rcd by SeaMonkey and copied and pasted into OE ?

DoctorBill

I have the same problem when forwarding a mail ... having a lot of frames/garbage.
So i try with OutlookExpress.
I started OE and create a mail.
Then i select all in SM do a copy then paste it into OE.
There are no frames visibles ... i delete the maximum in can.
Sometime i had to click on "Edit" - "undo" because i deleted a complete stuff. Then i do the inverse copy in OE and paste in SM ! bingo , there are frames (minder than before, but still more than one)... grrr...

Finally, i go to OE and do "Edit" - "Source" ... what is see is a html page source in pure txt filles with div .... and a lot of not-needed stuffs ...
So my conclusion is - no solution - we have to work with what we got.
