Message->Forward As->Inline is the obvious answer, but I assume you've
tried that already?
I can't give you a definitive explanation, hopefully someone else will
jump in and clarify this, but it seems that you can't forward inline if
the message you are forwarding already includes a forwarded inline
message (hope that makes sense). It also appears that a mix of plain and
HTML in the messages causes problems here.
As an example this happened to me the other day:
A colleague received and HTML mail and forwarded it to me. He uses
plaintext for composing and I received his plaintext message with the
attached HTML message displayed inline. When I tried to forward this on
to someone else I, like you, couldn't get it to be inline. In the end I
copy 'n' pasted into a new message because I wanted to intersperse some
comments in the original (HTML) message.
HTH, but it probably doesn't ;-). Anyone give a definitive explanation
of how forward as inline/attachment works?
