|    I have the same problem in Pegasus 2.54, but unchecking the 'edit
|message before forwarding' doesn't enable the forward attachment
|button.  Any ideas?  I'm not up to upgrading to 3.01b just yet.

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'
