Yes. Thats exactly my point. I can underastand teh behaviour in
forwarding as attachment. Also note that when I forward as attachment
the mail that I am forwarding won't be shown in the compose window,
it'll be there in the attachment box somewhere.
Now I've been experimenting and I'm getting odd behaviours. For one,
this behaviour so far seems only reproducible in the daily mails I get
from redherring.com. I had other html mails and when I forwarded them,
my sig came at the bottom. I'm going to forward the redherring post so
that you can see exactly what I am seeing.
