When forwarding emails there is always this ugly message header placed on top of the mail content. Example:

Forwarded Message --------

Subject: Re: Playing football in the afternoon Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2020 10:27:52 +0000 (UTC) From: Alice Adam <alice.adam@mail.com> Reply-To: Bob Builder <bob.builder@mail.com> To: Caesar Celuis <caesar.celuis@mail.com>, Daesar Deluis <daesar.deluis@mail.com>, Eaesar Eeluis <eaesar.eeluis@mail.com>, Faesar Feluis <faesar.feluis@mail.com>, Gaesar Geluis <gaesar.geluis@mail.com> CC: playground@mail.com, referee@mail.com

With increasing amount of recipients this header will take advantage of the white space while damaging the readability. Would it be possible to remove/hide this whole text block?

Maybe there is some about:config to automatically prevent Thunderbird from adding this header when forwarding messages?

All of that header is deletable. Simply select it all and delete like you would any block of text.

But this is not performed automatically.

Imagine a Thunderbird client without worker: The company sends mails to this computer and wants to forward them to her employees. The forwarding process is done automatically, but Thunderbird always adds this header in it.

You could do it by writing your own add-on. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3096187/thunderbird-scripting

I don't think a pre-made solution exists as at now.
