This looks generally reasonable, though currently it is bitrotted so I
can't test it out.

Re the test failures, I wonder if you're hitting Linux versus non-Linux
line endings or something like that.

Should we re-use existing strings that we use for forward? I'm not sure
there's likely to be a need for separate ones here.

Please add documentation for this function, in particular the various
parameters and what prefix is used for.

Title:
  enhance thunderbird to include option to forward original msg in reply

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  In Progress
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  In my business environment, TOFU is the norm. (Most people use
  Outlook.) Everyone's used to seeing the format that tb presently
  provides when I forward messages. So I am always opening the message
  twice. First I click forward, then I copy the next, then I close that
  window, then I click reply, then I paste the forwarded text, then I
  start my reply at the top of the message. I do it this way so the To:
  field is filled out for the reply and so the message is tagged as
  replied, not forwarded.

  I am requesting that tb be enhanced to provide an additional option
  for reply style, which is "reply by forwarding inline."
