This was changed intentionally in bug 298969. Confirming as RFE to make us follow the pref.

Any word on progress fixing this shortcoming.

All other email clients have no problems forwarding an message inline using
message filters.

It always seems Thunderbird is one step behind other email clients... I want to
use Thunderbird but it always seems to come up short oneway or another.

 :-(
