hiding jpeg data

I want to email some jpegs to a friend but don't want all the info about
the camera, its settings, the date etc sent with it! How do I strip this
information off the image? I have Photoshop 6 and Irfanview but neithre of
them seem to be able to do this.

Save for web?

In Irfanview have you tried unticking the "keep original exif data" box
under jpeg save options?

More recent versions of Photoshop have a "Save for Web" option that
strips out all metadata. I don't know if Photoshop 6 includes this. If
it doesn't, you *can* use IrfanView: Open the file, choose "Save As"
and when you choose JPEG as an output format you'll get a extra dialog
box with JPEG options. Besides the usual quality setting there are a
few check boxes, one of which is "Keep original EXIF Data"; uncheck
that box and save.

You can also use a program like EXIF Editor to just remove or change
the EXIF data. http://www.kiwiczech.net/index.php?menu=353&sub=4

Photoshop's "Save for web" does it for me.

You could simply edit the data. replace with blanks and save it.
