forward them. How do I do this in outlok 2007.

Outlook provides no way to access the underlying SMTP structures.
 
not sure you can do that if you forward as an attachment

a "regular" forward that copies the body of the message into a new message
will not have the internet headers of the original message
 
How are you forwarding? Typically, outlook removes the smtp header of
forwarded messages - much to the dismay of many admin.

Forward inline:
Only the body of the original e-mail gets inserted into your new message.
Some attribution lines are prepended before the original content, like
sender and date, but you can edit them out.

Forward as attachment:
The original e-mail becomes an attachment. The entire original e-mail is
included so that includes the headers. This is the only means of sending
someone else an e-mail and give them a full copy of the original message.

So if you don't want to include the headers, forward the original message
inline with the body of your new message. It is likely that Outlook only
refers to forward inline as Forward (but it does say Forward As Attachment
when you want to forward as attachment).

Is there a reason why you need to lie to your recipient as to actually sent
the original e-mail? If you are claiming it some whistleblower you are
trying to protect, and if you hadn't a clue about the different between
forward inline and forward as attachment, copy-n-paste still works. You
would copy what you want from the body of the original e-mail and just paste
it into your new message. Whether using copy-n-paste or forward inline, you
are always editing the original e-mail and providing no information that it
came from someone else, and that means you are NOT forwarding anything of
the original e-mail and your new message is all YOUR content. Yes, you can
claim part of the body of your new message came from someone else but you
could have just as easily typed in all that supposedly quoted content along
with all the other new content you add in your new message. Forwarding as
attachment is the only way to give someone else a real copy of the original
message. Anything else is all YOUR content.
