Hi

Not sure if this is the cause, maybe try.

Under the view menu

View --> Headers  make sure normal is selected,  as having all selected seems to cause this.

Do this from viewing the message not from a reply window.

Hope this helps

My current version of thunderbird, on this desktop computer,  is 78.13. For the first time since the upgrade I have tried to forward an email. I have never had any problems before. Now, in front of the message that I am forwarding is a whole stack of information that I don't need. At the very bottom is the original message that I am trying to forward. Here is a sample of some of this rubbish.



Thanks for all replies. I have made the change in the View menu and it seems to work now. I do not remember ever setting that up in View, so it must have been the default. I do wonder at some of these programmers and their choices for the defaults. I plan one or two emails on that subject.

It had never occurred to me to check the View menu when I was searching for an answer. I was looking at preferences. Silly me,

No problem,  of course this seems to raise the question of if you were viewing normal headers before hand,  why after updating thunderbird is it now showing full headers.

I am sure, in general, this should not change unless you tell the client to do so.

If anyone else notices this then it may be worth raising here,  to see if there is an actual issue.

At least we have solved the issue.

I'm using Thunderbird 78.14 - the next minor upgrade - no upgrade has ever changed my view options. Like Paul I don't know why this seems to have. Perhaps with the greatest respect to Neil an accidental mouse click at around the same time as the change? I'm pleased it's resolved now :)
