Actually, I don't see why having ActiveX disabled on your machine would
strip it when you forward it.  The ActiveX call is a embedded HTML reference
in the page (it wouldn't even be possible if email were only plain text).
Since it's only a reference, the code should forward untouched, allowing the
next person to all see the ActiveX control.  It's like when a page has a
reference to a graphic: the code just names the image file, and the page is
constructed by downloading the image from the source web site.

So I don't see why forwarding should remove the ActiveX call unless your
forwarding disables all HTML.
