MailMate doesn't display bounce messages as plain text but with a special formatting. The headers of the bounced message are in a grey box while the main headers and body are in a yellow box.

When I forward this message, only the basic headers of the bounce message are copied to the new mail.

Can you reproduce this or is it because of some settings I have messed up?

I cannot reproduce this.

I can. It happens to any standard bounce message with this structure:

Content-type: multipart/report (whole message)
--
Content-type: text/plain (human-readable text like "this is the mail system, I'm sorry...")
    --
Content-type: message/delivery-status (About a dozen lines, all formatted like headers OR blank)
    --
Content-type: message/rfc822 (wrapper object for an email message with all headers.)
    --
Content-type: text/plain (the whole message as it was queued for transport. )

Are you sure the original message isn't attached like it was in the bounce message? (You should be able to see this if enabling the preview in the Composer. This happens by default, but maybe you have disabled it.)

MM considers the two message/* parts to be "attachments" (i.e. if you QuickLook them you get an unparsed "TextEdit" document and the original email message.) and they DO NOT get included as attachments in the forwarded message.

The obvious easy solution is to forward bounces as attachments rather than normally. That creates a multipart/mixed with a text part and a message/rfc822 part containing the whole of the above structure, pristine.
