Make sure that you have already clicked on "Forward" message. It will not remove anything from the "Original" message. Only on the "Outgoing" message.

i KNOW YA'LL HAVE MORE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH THAN MINE, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MY IGNORANCE, BUT IF I CLICK "FORWARD" BEFORE I HIGHLIGHT UNWANTED TEXT I GET THE PAGE FOR INSERTING ADDRESSES AND THE "SEND " COMMAND. IF I GO BACK TO THE MESSAGE I WANT TO FORWARD ALL THE HIGHLIGHTING IS GONE-----IT'S LIKE A CACH "22".
I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST TIME------SOMEONE JUST GO STEP-BY-STEP TO FORWARD AN E-MAIL AND DELETE PREVIOUS ADDRESSES. LAST TIME, REALLY!

Delete key still does nothing. Going to try the tutorials and the down load as soon as I have time.

Are you using Outlook Express?
or Outlook?--it is odd that none of these work-- I'm wondering about a corrupted program ... it does happen.
