Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / December 2007Replace email addresses in forwarded email with names?
How can a sender remove email addresses from replies & forwards and have them substitute by the names? That is, maintain privacy of those people. Is possible using Outlook Express 6 which I use? If not, can someone pls recommend a way to do this? Thanks!

The "header" is a pedigree list that travels with all e-mail messages showing it spoint of origin and what systems it travelled through to get to its destination. When sending mail you may have the option to enter a "Reply-To" address into which you can enter false data. This would then display that false data to the person on the other end. If a "Reply-To" is not specified, mail programs will enter the e-mail address by default. Since your e-mail address is often the same (not always) data that is used to log in to your mail account on a mail server, you cannot munge that part. The downside is that if the other party doesn't know how to obtain the actual mail address from the header, if they hit REPLY, it attempts to go to the falsified "Reply-To" address. However by no means is this anonymous. That speaks to sending mail. As to receiving, some mail programs display the address as found in th email headers of the received message. Some compare this and display the information from your address book. These usually use the e-mail address from the header to make the comparison. only experimenttation will determine if your program's display will do this. If the overall need is anonimity, manilupation of a mail program such as Outlook won't produve those results. You may need to use an anonimizing service or get a throw away web mail address someplace.

This, of course, you do after clicking on "reply to" or "forward to", in the body of the message. Tom G. Thanks, Tom. I see how to do this manually now. Is there a way to have an email program do this automatically -- so that I send out email with only names but no email addresses?

I should have realized that Microsoft is still 10 years behind the times. If I get what you mean, click Reply or Forward. Highlight and delete all the original message info & addresses. Put your address in the To field and all the people you want to send to in the BCC field.

Your headers tell us that you aren't running Windows 98 so why did you crosspost to a Win98-specific newsgroup?
