[imp] Forwarding attachments

Huh?  If a mail user agent cannot read a message/rfc822 part, it is  
BADLY broken.  This is one of the basic MIME parts as defined in the  
original RFC document.  And this is the correct (and only) way to  
FORWARD a message - meaning the receiving party receives the exact  
same message as the sender originally received.

> attachments are available to send with it as separate attachments.

Uh, no.  This is *not* FORWARDING the message.  This is using the old  
message as a template.  That is what Edit As New is for.
