How to remove metadata and path history from forwarded email

more options

In contrast to the clean message produced by the email "reply" option, the "forward" option precedes the message body with a screenful of garbage. I can avoid this by always using "reply" then overwriting the "to" field but there must be a setting somewhere to produce clean "forwarded" emails... surely?

It is in several help articles. Use Google to find them. The Thunderbird help search is worthless.
