Hi Michael!
I agree with you about how bad mailers can behave, what I was asking is
just a small adjust over the "Edit as New" option Horde/IMP already has.
How about having the option to "enclose" the body in "--- Forwarded message
---" plus some basic headers, as you do in standard forward, but with the
rest behaving as "Edit as New"?
If you consider this something that we must pay for, please tell me how
much it can be.
Regards,
Ruben.

Hi Michael!
Trying different ways to give our users some ways to deal with what they
intend to do, we found that there is no way to forward as other mail
client
do, let me explain it...
On several mail clients, when you choose to forward a mail, the body is
set
between markers, together with some headers, and the original
attachments
are set as attachments of the new message.
In Horde you can choose only to use the body of the forwarded mail
(with no
attachments), set the whole mail as attachment (including body and
attachments) or to "Edit as New", what uses the original body with no
markers at all as the new body (and set original attachemnts as
attachemnts
of the new message).
It is very complex to add an option to forward mails in the first
explained
way, as others do?
Well, the way "others" do is simply wrong. I can give you about 100
different examples of "forwarded" messages that are sent with broken,
partial, or unwanted attachments. (It's amazing how bad mailers can
broken multipart/related messages when they try to forward them).
The *only* sane way that works 100% of the time and will never send
broken data is to forward the entire message. Not to mention that
forwarding the entire message is what the user wants about 99.8% of
the time so this isn't an issue in practice.
