Confirmed in Build 2004070208.  

Even TEXT/PLAIN messages are not forwarded using FORWARD/INLINE.  

Same problem whether using Message/Forward, Ctrl-L, toolbar Forward button, or
Message/Forward As/Inline

Blocking 1.8a2?

The Send Page / Send Link cases have been fixed by the recent update to the 
patch in bug 192557.  The Forward Inline case is still broken, as described in 
the dupe.
