| Is this RFC or the common behaviour of other clients? Just curious.

Neither (AFAIK).  There is no RFC for what to include in rfc822 headers.  
It's definitely not violating any RFC though (that I know of - I assume if 
there would be anything it would appear in RFC 2046).

And I have no idea what other mailers do (I don't even know if other 
mailers allow to do what IMP now does).  This was just something that made 
it easier to read/comprehend the forwarded data.  It's nice to have the 
subject easily accessible for all forwarded parts (way better 
than "unnamed" :)).
