The straightforward way seems to be to parse/interpret the message with
our knowledge of rfc5322, identify the headers to be removed, and then
re-render the message.
iirc, it worked for me until i started using emacs 27.1, too ☹
Obviously, if "Content-Type" or other structural headers are removed,
you'll break the message. But the answer there is "don't do that", i
think.

This might be useful for some people, but doesn't really satisfy my
goals. When i want to forward a message, i want to forward the whole
message -- multipart, with attachments, etc. My goal when forwarding is
to *not* mangle the message, but rather to supply it to the new
recipient in a parseable way. I just don't think that most recipients
need to have access to (for example) the headers that are added by all
the mail transport agents along my receipt path. I want them filtered
for privacy, which i think isn't unreasonable. (i recognize that if the
use case is debugging the MTA path itself, i probably *don't* want those
headers stripped, but that's a different use case than the most common
message forwarding)
so i'm still stuck with this regression, sadly.
