[a revised edition of my previous golden words of wisdom, resent 17
Mar 1991, before it gets too stale. Posting is better than mailing
recently around here.]

The answer is simple, folks.  A regular expression of the headers
you'd like stripped on forwarding messages.  This should be
independent of any other regular expression currently used.
Furthermore, if one would give an argument of say 4 (C-u z) then a
different header-killing regular expression would be called to kill
the headers, defaulting to consist of only "^X-VM-".  This second
regular expression when you want the recipient to see all the
headers, say, when forwarding to postmaster for analysis.  Let's not
use up all the possible arguments to "z" at this time, so only 4 (^U)
should have the meaning of invoking the second regular expression.

See, a very flexible, all-problem-solving solution [typical of my
billion dollar brain. Smirk.] Now trunder forth and implement, my
fellow VMians!

P.S. Furthermore, I would like the UUCP "From " line at top given some
due respect in forwarding, etc. reasonably soon.  Sometimes that's all
there is in the headers around here.
