Then I see this in the help...

Note: It is presently a restriction of the program that if you forward
a multipart MIME message with changes, the multiple parts will not be
accessible to the final recipient. To get around this, we recommend
that you forward the message twice, once without changes, to preserve
the multiple parts, and the other time with changes to include your
edits.

I uncheck the box that says 'edit mesage before forwarding' and it
appears to work now.  Is this going to be fixed soon?
