The (f)orward command includes the headers, so doesn't do what I am suggesting. My request is to make things *easier* for the user, not to make them do extra work (by having them delete the header-lines). As to (f)orward itself, what is the rationale behind prefixing all the lines of the forwarded item with ">"s? Isn't it much easier (to program) and visually cleaner for the user to put a separator line ahead of the forwarded item (something like "------- start of forwarded item ------"), and a similar line after the forwarded item? Regards. $$/
