This has been discussed several times in the lists. By desing Horde does 
not allow forwarding emails the way you described. Please, search the 
mail lists.

The only way to achieve a similar result is to click reply in order to 
obtain the message headers and body between markers, copy the presented 
text, close the window, and then click "Edit as new" on the same 
original message, in order to obtain a new msg with the attachments, and 
then paste the previously copied text. It's a lot of manual work...

Or you could alter the source code to include message headers when 
clicking "Edit as New". This way "Edit as New" would do the same as the 
"traditional" forward action you are expecting. If you do patch the 
code, you could share it in the list.
