Often I receive messages that has been forwarded and contain graphics.

not sure this problem applies only to SeaMonkey, but that is the

I use for my Email. Is there a way of removing the duplicate text and
graphics when I forward such a message??
If you forward as "plain text and html" I believe many emails WILL be
doubled.
However, it also depends on how the email you received was structured:
in-line
or with attachments. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference.
I try to make a habit of forwarding as "just html".
I sometimes encourage correspondents to send me
just a URL instead of the whole video!-)
I will keep that advice about only HTML in mind when I send on an Email
message, but won't the message I received with double the text and
graphics still be double?? I tried to "edit the message as new" but
every time I tried to remove one portion of the message, the part I
wanted to keep was also deleted. I hope I am explaining my question
clearly so that it is understood?
Ken, on a couple of occasions, I've tried what you want (1), and I think
the way I did it was to save the email as a File (File-Save as File),
then edited in Notepad or similar, then cut-and-pasted what was left
into my email. Can take some time, depends on your dedication!
(1) I hate the breach of privacy that is occurring when these re-posts
of re-posts or re-posts occur.

I don't know who originally wrote the following, but I've been using a
modified copy of it to send to friends that don't edit forwarded mails:
Subject: e-mail Addressing
Dear Recipient of This e-mail:
It has been noticed that in your addressing of messages you are
using the "TO" function in e-mail that goes to many people. The extra
lines of addresses are of no consequence to those to whom you are
addressing the message. They only add to net congestion, which in turn
slows down the overall speed of the network. They also allow spammers to
harvest address.
Would you write your friends' phone numbers on the walls of public
restrooms? If the answer is 'no', then why would you spread their
e-mail addresses to a bunch of strangers, many of whom will in turn
forward the same addresses to even more strangers?
If you don't know how to accomplish this, read the manual or help
files for the software you are using. You should have a "BCC" address
option. This option will 'hide' the addresses from the recipients of
your e-mail. You might want to ask your peers. I don't suggest that
you ask your ISP Help Desk, since they will probably give you incorrect
information.
Thank you for your consideration to others.
