email addresses

[Grandpappy]

Sometimes I get emails from people that have loads of email addresses attached to the message and I feel that I can't forward these messages to anyone else because I would be doing what the previous people have done( If you know what I mean!).
My question is: Can I forward a received email without including all of the addresses of the other recipients?

Many thanks for any advice

Sure just copy and paste the message into a new email. many people just forward the whole lot on (email addresses and all) and it's a spammer's dream.

Of couse you can.

If you just click on reply, it will only go to the sender of the original email. If you click on reply to all, obviously it will go to all addresses shown in the email. If you want to forward it to only one person, just click on forward and type in the recipients email address.

You can do as another-view says or:-

If you want to forward the e-mail, click Forward and the complete e-mail will appear in a new window. Highlight all the existing e-mail address by left clicking your mouse and dragging across and down all addresses, then click delete. Some times you can't delete all address at once, you may have to do it in stages. When you've deleted all existing addresses. Type your message at the top of the message window. Enter the recipient's e-mail address and send as normal.

If you just click on Forward and type in the address you want it to go to then that person will also receive the addresses of everyone listed in the e-mail You MUST delete them before forwarding.

When you forward a message any addresses from pevious "sends" show as text below your text (if at all). You can simply select and delete the addresses.

It i s a good practice anyway since it reduces the chance of a "spammer" seeing them and adding them to their list to send ads to. And you could always e-mail the sender of the e-mails you receive, back, and suggest they use the blind CC for the large send lists in future ?

Good advice from Geezer.

Try sending this http://gilbertharding...know-how-to-use-email

to the people who insist on forwarding stuff with loads of addresses included.
