I know there must be a way to do this in Mail, but I cannot find it in Mail Preferences. Also, at one time I knew some key strokes to remove the vertical lines from email before forwarding it on, but I have forgotten them. Can someone tell me what setting to use to as the default preference and also what key stroke to use to remove them. Thanks,

Hit Forward on the mail you wish to send.



Highlite the vertical-lined quoted material.



In mail menu Format, Quote Level, select Decrease.



That will remove the quote vertical line down the right side of the page.

Thank you for the answer. I finally got it to work. I learned that it would only work after I had addressed the "forwarded" email. At first, I clicked on Forward, then highlighted the quoted text with the vertical lines, then clicked on Format, Quote Level and Decrease and nothing happened. I would then address it and send it to myself. The lines were still there. However, if I clicked on "Forward" then first put in the address and after that went through the other steps, the lines would disappear as soon as I clicked on "Decrease". I had to click on Decrease more than once to get rid of additional vertical lines.
Thank you so much.
