Forwarding a multipart/alternative message inline results in no body content, and no attached files. Changing the option to forward-as-attachment temporarily works around the issue, as well as dragging the original message into the attachment pane.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the "Forward messages" option to "Inline":
pref("mail.forward_message_mode", 2);
2. Open attached eml file
3. Attempt to forward the message
Actual Results:  
The message body in the compose window is blank.

Expected Results:  
The message body in the compose window should show:

"This is an example body part in HTML."
