Forwarding with attachments

[Chisel Wright]

I don't know if I missed a setting in mutt, I keep browsing (ok, maybe
I should read carefully from top-to-bottom) the mutt and muttrc man pages.

If I choose to forward a message in mutt it forwards the message,
ignoring any attachments.

If I view attacchments, tag them, and Tag-forward, it forwards the
attachment, but the only part of the message that's included for
forwarding seems to be the headers.

What I'd like is some forward method where attachments are forwarded
and the message body is prepopulated with something of the form:

----- Forwarded message from XXXX -----
{headers}

{body}
----- End forwarded message -----

Is this possible, and if so, how?

Regards,

Chisel

Look up the section on mime_forward

message-hook . "set mime_forward=ask-no"
message-hook "~h multipart" "set mime_forward=ask-yes"

The first says that for all messages, we'll prompt to forward the
MIME-encoded portion of the message (assuming no); for multipart
messages, we'll prompt to forward the MIME-encoded portion of the
message and assume yes.

If you add the third line, you will also see the text from the
previous message when you forward it.

message-hook . "set mime_forward=ask-no"
message-hook "~h multipart" "set mime_forward=yes"
message-hook "~b text" "set mime_forward=no"

Matthew Weier O'Phinney scribbled:

Another way (which I personally prefer) is to just hit "v" to see the list
of attachments and tag them using "t". Then, I forward the message along
with the tagged attachments with ";f"
