Save the pictures and attachments to a folder or your desktop.  Create a new message and attach what you want to send.  You can copy and paste the text from the email you received.  This will clean up the message for you friends and cut out all of the addresses and comments from the previous emails.  Your friends will like the look of your email, too.
