Please see the comment dated 2/8/2006.  The issue is it is very difficult
(if not impossible) to code an algorithim that 100% correctly identifies
what "should" be forwarded and what shouldn't.  IMP's previous algorithim
was not 100% reliable - that is why I have been playing around with other
methods.

My goal is to create a forward drop-down (like the current reply drop-down)
that has (at least) 2 options: Forward as RFC822 part and Forward
attachments only.  Also, to add a preference for default forwarding behavior
- this behavior will be used when the 'Forward' navbar action is clicked
(rather than any of the options in the drop down).  I just haven't had a
whole heck of a lot of time lately, which is why this ticket has stalled
lately.  But this is at the top of my list of things to do (this obviously
needs to be resolved before IMP 4.2 so I am bumping the milestone).
