How to forward an email without header info in the message body in Outlook?
When forwarding an email in Outlook, the original email's header information (such as sender, recipient, date, and subject) is automatically included in the forwarded message, as shown in the screenshot. However, there are situations where the header information is unnecessary or unwanted. This article will introduce a workaround using the Resend This Message feature, which allows you to forward an email without the original header information in Outlook.
