Description Oded Arbel 2009-12-18 18:32:51 UTC 
Some mail user agent (Microsoft Outlook as an example) send emails with no text and just an attachment as an e-mail whose content is only the file - i.e. there is no multipart MIME wrapper. Evolution displays such emails as a message with no text and a single attachment - which is fine.

If I try to forward such e-mail, using inline forwarding or quoted forwarding, the forwarded message does not include the attachment. The only way to forward the file is by either forwarding the email as an attachment - creating a message digest that some mail user agents have problems with, or saving the file and reattaching it to the new email.
