In Mail, select a message that has one or more attachments.  Click the forward
button.  A new message screen opens without the attachments identified in the
attachment box.  Sometimes the text is not displayed in the new forwarded
message screen either.  I have tested several messages by sending to another of
my mail addresses and the attachment does not arrive.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select mail message
2. Click "Forward" button on tool bar.
3.

Actual Results:  
A new message screen opens without the attachments identified in the attachment box.

Expected Results:  
A new message screen opens WITH the attachments identified in the attachment
box, and they are attached to the forwarded message.
Fred Musick, is this problem still occurring for you?  Have you upgraded to a 
more current version of Mozilla?  I am not seeing this problem occur with 1.5 
Final.
If I use Forward Inline, the new message window does show the original message's 
attachment in the attachment window.  If I use Forward As Attachment, the 
attachment window shows only an entry for the message, but when sent, that 
message is maintained whole and includes the attachment.  (But see bug 203570.)
