Re: reducing headers in gnus-summary-mail-forward ARG 4

[Ted Stern <stern+gnus@cray.com>]

Hi,

Nobody ever commented on this.

What I want to do is forward email with a format like

     ----Forwarded message follows: -----

     ----End Forwarded Message-----------

This is for cases when I don't really care about preserving headers, or when I
have to email with colleagues who still use /usr/bin/mail (!) and don't like
all the headers.

If I use M-4 C-c C-f, I get the correct wrapper, but it includes nearly 40
lines of irrelevant headers.

S O m is tolerable but puts the actual message into a digest, which can be
somewhat confusing.
