Themessage I wanted to forward had a JPEG attached.

Nope. Was trying to forward it to a buddy.

This is what I was attempting to do. How can you add a file that is already
attached to a message when the attachment does not show up in the forwarded
message to begin with? The problem I was having was not being able to view
the attachemnt in the original mesage, nor would it "save" out, so I was
attempting to forward it to a buddy to view and possible convert and send
back to me. The JPEG was in some base64 code that MD2 1.3 couldn't deal
with. I ended up finind it in the data drawer and sorted things out that
way.
