Outlook should prevent copying blocked images to the clipboard

I wanted to forward a suspicious email to someone in my org that would be
more knowledgeable about the origins of the message. When I clicked forward,
I got a message warning me that blocked images will be downloaded if I
proceed and that I'll be giving myself away to the possible spammer who sent
it. (There should really be an option to just strip these images in a
forwarded message.) So instead I just copied the first few lines of the body
and pasted them in a new message so that my recipient has some context. But
once I pasted, I noticed that the blocked image made its way into my message
and on top of that became unblocked, notifying the could-be spammer to fire
in my direction. :(

You should forward the message in a different way.
* Create a new message and address it to the person you want to send it.
* Click Insert and select Item
* Select the message you want to forward and hit OK.

This way the original message with all headers is sent as an attachment.
