Consider using it properly then, because currently you're not.
Read a user guide or something.

I did. So did Spamassasin.
But most importantly - you just had to prove that you're using real OS,
*and* you did just because I've asked you nicely.

See - my approach works, yours - not so much :)

Sounds like yet another reason to discontinue communications with
someone who has already raised many other red flags.

Before the message is forwarded, you actually have a choice whenever to
use dumb "inline forward style" (which you did) or proper
rfc822-compliant attachment (which your MUA should support).
In the latter case you're free to express yourself using top-posting,
bottom-posting or interleaved posting (which is preferred here) or even
cat-pictures posting.

Of course, proper forwarding requires using a real MUA. You could
consider start using one.

PS Using real OS cannot not hurt you too, you know.
