Thanks for this report. As I said, your mileage will vary :)

But this morning I've been doing some testing with forwarding
with attachments from gnus to gmail accounts, and everything
works correctly in my setup[1][2]. I can't test Thunderbird
unfortunately so I can't say more about that.

I suspect the difference is in the various message-forward-
variables but am not sure. Unfortunately problems like these
seem quite idiosyncratic and hard to chase down among
differing installations of gnus.

[1] Still, it forwards the main message as a separate part and
repeats it. Not an error per se, but aesthetically displeasing,
although not enough so for me to spend time researching
further!

[2] Although I'm finding that the C-u 2 prefix does not any
longer seem necessary. Maybe it never was and I just thought
so. Also hard to track down.
