User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100111 Thunderbird/3.0.1

When I try forwarding a message, I get all sorts of extra info that I don't want to include. This doesn't happen when I reply to a message. Here's an example of what I get:

Nothing more to add.

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Forwarding a message means that you forward the whole message as Content-Type: message/rfc822 and that contains all the headers from the original message as it should.

Which email application is used to view the forwarded message ?
(Thunderbird itself ?)

Note that this specific behavior is related to using View -> Headers -> All; only the headers *actually displayed* in the message reader UI will be forwarded.
Note also that inline forwarding (Tools -> Options -> Composition -> Forward messages: Inline) cannot forward with a particular Content-Type, as it's part of a single MIME part. Therefore, there is no obligation to forward all headers.

This bug looks somewhat similar to bug 141446; is Enigmail implicated here? (I can repro without Enigmail installed, though.)

I changed the View ==> Headers ==> from All to Normal and that fixed the problem. I don't know why Thunderbird changed this setting when I upgraded to the latest version of Thunderbird 3.0.1. I have never used the All option. Thank you for the assistance!
