Hi Don, George, and All,
This, not so oddly enough I suppose, is PERZACKLY what Jerel's MIME2FRM
program does for you... adds the extra "From" header... you can it
remove some or nearly all of the headers for you... and it works with
multiple "Forwarded" messages effectively creating a new folder...

Actually, unless you plan to respond to or Forward the message again,
which was already done in the original message in this thread, that
shouldn't be a problem. What I can't get squared up about is why would
you want to re-Import this message anyway... why not just add it to an
archive outside of Juno? Seems like you probably already done with it.
But then to go to all this trouble just to get the "Forward" status to go
away is a bit beyond me too... but then I believe George was just
looking for a "simple" switch to flip or something like that anyway...

Yep, Imported as a new Folder. This is step for step the setup for
MIME2FRM which modifies the Headers for you... making these messages
Importable into ANY version of Juno, by the way. And you should note
that so far, we have found no upper limit to number of files that may be
highlighted and "Forwarded" this way... making it a great work-around to
saving your individual folders, even those in v5!
