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.
