| I have the same problem in Pegasus 2.54, but unchecking the 'edit

The 'Forward attachments as well' only will be available when
forwarding a message that was sent locally on the LAN using the
built-in mailer with an attachment, i.e. with a associated *.PMF
file. In all other cases this option will be greyed out. Messages
are received with attachments in three very different ways and only
one of them is an attachment, the others are either enclosures or
message parts. Pegasus Mail handles each these differently. All of
these assume you are using v2.54, these options are not all available
in earlier versions.
1. Attachment - This is two completely separate messages, there is
no association between the message and the attachments. The
messages can be selected using the space bar and then forward
them all at once. You will be give a number of options on how
you want to forward these messages.
2. Enclosures - This generally is best forwarded using forward w/o
editing since most of the time the enclosure is too large for
the 30 K message editor. You can also create a new message to
the address you want to forward the message and then drag the
message from the message folder onto the new message and then
select 'Attach instead of enclosing'
3. MIME multipart messages - This is treated differently depending
on where you are. If you are in the message reader and select
forward, only the current part will be forwarded. If you want
to forward the entire message, you must forward the message w/o
editing from the message folder. You can also create a new
message to the address you want to forward the message and then
drag the message from the message folder onto the new message and
then select 'Attach instead of enclosing'
