Text Box: Forward an email without all of the headers Text Box: What to do? What to do? Text Box: This is NOT the second tip; it’s down there. Text Box: THIS is the second tip. Text Box: Hide the recipients’ addresses

Have you ever received an email and had to scroll through pages of those email “headers”? You know, the part where it shows all of the people who have received and then forwarded the same email? And then, are you hesitant to forward on an exceptionally wonderful email because you don’t want your email address to circle the globe?

 

Or, perhaps you’ve received an email which was sent to 30 or 40 people and there your email is in the heading for all those 29 or 39 other people to see.

As you may have already guessed, because of the festive mood of the season, you’re getting TWO tips for the price of one!
