[imp] Forward a message as an attachment

[Kevin Collins]

Oops.  I managed to overlook that one.  Sorry.  My excuse is that it's too 
early in the morning and I haven't had anything even approaching the 
correct amount of coffee yet.

For the other uses of forward-as-attachment I can look at basing it on the 
report-as-spam option, I suppose.  That makes life a bit easier.

Sorry to waste your time
