View all headers, but not forward them

I have set Mozilla Thunderbird (version 102.12.0 64bit on Windows 11) to show all headers of an email message (menu: View -> All / Normal).

However, when I forward a message, all headers are included.

I would like to: - continue reading all headers of an email message; - do NOT include all headers when I forward a message. Is there any way to obtain this?

It seems it is not possible, but may be I am wrong.

You're right, it can't be done. BUT, you might try the addon 'toggle headers' as a compromise that lets you activate and deactivate the headers view.
