No need to cut and paste or anything like that. It couldn't be simpler.
Let's say the email has gone back and forth a few times and there are three vertical lines.
After you hit reply or forward, highlight the whole email. Then hold down the option/command keys and click on the apostrophe key. Every time you hit the apostrophe key you'll get rid of one more in the series of quote lines.
There's a similar trick in iOS but you can just Google it. That's how I found out how to do it in Apple Mail.
Hope this helps!

If you are doing this on an iPhone:
For forwarding or replying to an email without the Blue Vertical line to the left of the text...
- Open the email
- Select Forward or reply (this will open a new window)
- Select All of the text in the new email.
- In the pop-up bar that says "cut, copy, paste" select the right arrow for more options.
- Select Quote Level
- Select Decrease
Voila!
Hi - I stumbled on the same question and think that I found a simple solution:
I found the icon for 'indent' on the line with mail formatting icons; it is rightmost on the line below
Suboptions are:
I found that the vertical line disappears when you (first) select the lines for which you want the vertical line to disappear, then (second) select "Indent" > "Outdent". For reference - the Mail app is version 10.3 on my MacOS Sierra.
I hope this is still of interest/useful to others. Kind regards,
Jacques
A much easier solution:
You can copy the text to TextEdit which is to doesn't recognize the veritcal line. Then copy the text back to your Mail message.

You are welcome. Glad I could help. Than you for the star.
Allan
thank you.
I didn't even know there WAS a solution!! 🙂
So easy, thanks so much!!!
YES THANK YOU
Cooperton, you rock. Thanks!
Perfect, Cooperton! This is, as you say, the easiest of all solutions. In OSX, all you have to do is right-click the selected message and the 'redirect' option is towards the bottom. Thx so much!
