Microsoft Outlook 2003: How to stop auto-formatting on edited then forwarded emails?

I use an email as a "template" for stuff, I just keep a copy and forward it many times, but I make small edits every now and then.

When I make edits, Outlook automatically changes the color of those edits - and adds spacing - so the edits stand out. I hate that.

How do I stop this automatic color change (blue) and spacing? Thanks
