Setting a variable with the same name as a function doesn't change what
the function does.

What you want to do is to pass the optional ARG to the function.

I.e. you press: C-u 1 C-c C-f instead of just C-c C-f to forward the
email.

Where did you get that from?

The changelog.1 file says that that variable was removed. In 1999:

  "1999-02-09 15:25:52  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@gnus.org>
   [...]
           (message-included-forward-headers): Removed."

I think you are collecting your snippets of configuration from very
strange places :-)
