My friend sent me an email on my hotmail account. I want to forward this email to someone else. I need to hide address of my friend in the forwarded message. But when I clicked forward, an attachment line appeared with a file message.txt.
In the message area; from, subject and date appeared that I removed. For testing, I sent it to my own yahoo email address. When I checked this email from the yahoo account, forwarded message appeared with the following details:

From: myfriend's email address
Date:
Subject:
HTML Attachment

How can I hide sender's email address in the forwarded message
 
In Outlook (you don't mention that?), :
Tools - Options - E-Mail Options
Near the bottom, "When Forwarding " should be set to anything but 'Attach original message'.
Best option there is 'Include original message text'.

Then, you can strip off anything you want from the initial message.

Thanks

I am using Internet Explorer 5 to check my emails from hotmail and yahoo accounts.

In the hotmail.com interface, there is an Options|Help link. I clicked Options link.

There is no setting option available for Message Forwarding. There is one for Message Replies.

In Message Replies, options are:
Including Original Text When replying
Original Text Indicator
Reply-To address

???
 
Oh, that is an Hotmail issue.
It's free so don't expect any support from it.

Including Original Text When replying to "Auto".

You should then see the header in the new message, and you can strip that right there.
