I too had grown used to this "forward only the content" operation from
previous mail programs I've used. While Gnus is probably doing The
Right Thing by MIME-ifying the forwarded message, a sometimes
unfortunate consequence is that the recipient of the forwarded message
opens the "attached" message and replies to *it* - rather than to
me. Yes, this is pilot error, mostly due to the way MS Outlook
presents the message(s), but it would be handy to prevent it on the
sender end.
The way I do this "forward only the content" now is to open the
original message, copy the body, and paste it into a new message.
