By default, Thunderbird 2.0 forwards a message as attachment, thus you should see an ".eml" attachment in the upper-right-hand corner of the composition window. This can be switched to "inline" in the Edit > Preferences > Composition > General tab, thus allowing you to edit any component of the message you are forwarding (including the addresses of previous recipients).

If this resolves your issue, please close as "invalid" since it is not a bug.
