No need to run DefaultMgr for this, unless you need to find
information about what dwrite's an app supports.

To filter out lines from received mail messages, do the following:
dwrite Mail MailFilter filterstring

Where filterstring is a colon delimited string of fields you want
eliminated from your mail header.  For example, I use:
dwrite Mail MailFilter "Received:Mime-Version:Status:Message-Id:
Return-Path:Next-Reference:X-Mailer:Content-Type:Content-Length"

This is all on one line, and prevents me from seeing the associated
header lines.
