That seems like a lot of work. Why not just paste into notepad first, then copy from there and paste to the message. I call this "sanitizing" as it takes out all the formatting stuff and renders into plain text.

If anyone has a better idea, I too would like to hear it.

Now, there is some kind of table setting that only says cell this and cell that and I can't edit some messages. It only happens to some messages. I tried turning off table detection with no result. Could anyone share ideas as to what could be done to allow me to edit a message before it is forwarded?
