Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to remove the vertical bars on the left side when forwarding an email. I am using Gmail but will be glad to forward it another way if someone can suggest a product or utility.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 18, 2021 at 2:46 am #2344454Forwarding is actually just sending again, on the technical side. No reason why you can’t remove any parts, it’ll only be detectable if the content is signed. (As in cryptographically or with an out-of-band checking method.)
Do you mean you have vertical bars added when forwarding? I don’t actually get any such when I forward things, but I don’t usually use the Gmail web interface much… hm… let’s see…
… yeah, went to the web interface, forwarded one mail from my Gmail mailbox to a non-Gmail mailbox, no extra vertical bars around when it got there. Though I might have non-default settings in there…
