I can not reproduce it (though my users agree with you that it is broken
until I explain it to them).

Correct.  The default is "entire message" which everyone finds confusing,
and I recommend changing it to body text only myself, despite the fact
that doing so leaves the attachments off.

> If I click "entire message", the new forwarded message comes up blank in the

As it should, but you should see the attachment at the bottom of the screen
if you scroll down.  But the body should indeed be empty.

> If I choose "body text only", it seems to work properly (only the body is
> forwarded into a new message).

Yes.

> If I choose "attachments only", I get the undesirable original message body
> and no attachments at all in the new message window (the body is forwarded
> instead of the attachments).

Never tried this actually, so can't say... :(

> It happened with all types of messages that I've tried. I don't think this

No, at least 2 of the three work for me. I've simply not tried the 3rd, but
I bet it works also.

I will confirm that it is confusing to many people.
