I get many messages that I want to forward to another recipient, but I want to hide the string of other addressees who sent it or forwarded it to me. I have tried simply deleting some of the info, but there are so many codes and links showing that I'm not sure what to delete.

I'd try turning it onto its head; select the stuff you definitely DO want to forward, then copy and paste into a new message.

Or, and this may be counterintuitive, select the part you're interested in and hit Reply To Sender. It will copy just the selected text into a new message, leaving you just the task of removing that one address from the addressing box. I'd be wary of this approach, as it will carry a link back to the previous message. Under some circumstances, this can lead to apparently unrelated messages being added to a thread.

Unfortunately there's no easy or automatic way for a program such as Thunderbird to know which bits you do and don't want to include in your forwarded message.
