Doing as you suggest works fine when forwarding to an icloud email

It doesn't work when forwarding to a Proton mail account.

I guess i will have to contact the people at Proton for help.

There are gaps in that explanation of what you do.  Rather than pick
over the fine detail of your set-up, I'll initially suggest trying
something simple.

You're not trying to forward HTML email.  You're trying to forward an
email, any email, as an email rather than a textual representation of
it.  Attaching the email to a new MIME email as a message/rfc822 part
does this.  An easy way to do this is ‘forw -mime 42’ where 42 is the
email's number.  You will see a ‘#forw ...’ at the end of the draft.
After editing the draft, at the ‘What now?’ prompt type ‘mime’ before
sending it in the normal way.

The recipient should be able to treat the attached email as an email in
its own right.

Forwding html email

[aalinovi]

I believe i asked this once before when I was having difficulty forwarding html
email. The answer I received was to type "mime" at the "what now" prompt and
then send. That seemed to work up until about 2 weeks ago. Now any html email I
forward is received as just html code.

Doing mhlist tells me the mail I am trying to forward is multipart/alternative
47K; text/html 44k. I have nothing related to mhl.forward in my ~/.mh_profile
and in ~/Mail the mhl.forward file is:

; mhl.forward
;
; default message filter for `forw' (forw -format)
;
width=80,overflowtext=,overflowoffset=10
leftadjust,compress,compwidth=9
Date:formatfield="%<(nodate{text})%{text}%|%(tws{text})%>"
From:
To:
cc:
Subject:
:
body:nocomponent,overflowoffset=0,noleftadjust,nocompress

I am running OpenBSD 7.3-current with nmh version 1.8

If anyone can point out where I may be screwing up I would appreciat it.

Thanks

Arthur
