With IMAP accounts without offline use checkmark, when forwarding
an e-mail with attachment, we still see the problem that the base64
coded attachment is replaced with the fixed string:

Thisbodypartwillbedownloadedondemand

This is a wellknown problem.  I understand how it occurs, but I
cannot understand why the coders are unable to fix it or at least
work around it.  It seems easy enough to check for the occurrence
of this string when preparing the mail for transmission, and download
the attachment at that time.

What we get reported is that people receive mail with corrupted
attachments (low-level error message from the program that tries
to open it, e.g. Word or PDF program), and when tracking things down
it is always a forwarded message that was forwarded without looking
at the attachment.  It is nasty because the person having the problem
has to go back to the person who forwarded the message and ask to
try again.  Very unprofessional when this happens external to the
company.
