Kyle> The correct way to read a forwarded message with VM is to type Kyle> `*' to burst the digest. You will then have a separate copy of the Kyle> message in the folder, which will automatically be displayed as Kyle> specified by vm-visible-headers, vm-invisible-header-regexp, etc. In one perfect world, everyone else would use VM :). However, this is not the case. Most other mailers (sure, they're less cool than VM :) don't have a good way to eliminate the unsightly, unwanted headers. This is why many mail-senders would like to see VM do it for them. Does this sound reasonable? I think a VM user on this mailing list said it well: maybe there should be a distinction between forwarding a *message* as an object, and forwarding its *contents*. I think most people routinely expect the latter. BTW, I edit *every* *single* message I forward -- thankfully I can use a VM hack provided by Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl> which makes the job a lot easier. Regards -Ricardo
