Can you forward a mail message without revealing the original source address?

Hi, I need to ask some computer experts here. If I get a mail message from one of my friend, and I want to forward this message to my another friend, can I hide the original source address, the friend who sent me this message, and simply show my email address? Can you do it in any of those free mailbox, like google mail, or hotmail, yahoo mail? I am just curious, if I can do it too.

Yes this is possible if you don’t want to show the address of the person who has sent you originally and the address of that person can be hiden easily. There is no need to do any computer savvy task. You need to open the address in forward mode and by editing the message you need to only remove the headers where source information is written. Or in short copy that content you need to send and rest select all and remove. Then paste the copied content back in the editor window. The mail will be sent as desired by you.

When you forward an email it comes in edit mode so you can select and delete the parts that you don't want to forward. Also remove the FW: sign that automatically comes in the subject line and then it will look like you originated that email message.

hi kingp arker I have forwarded stuff and just erased the address of the person who sent it, stuck in my own email and sent it to several friends with no problem at all.I do not think that the unwanted address showed up and it mailed easily.[
