Emails sent to me in HTML appear correctly when I view them. Colors,
graphics and formatting are all preserved and displayed as composed.
However, if I forward the email to my wife, or to another of my email
accounts, the HTML is stripped away and the message is sent in plain
text, losing all original formatting. What is controlling this? Is there
something I can change to retain the original formatting?

A couple of places to start:

1) Are you forwarding "inline" or "as attachment"? The latter should
preserve formatting.

I'm forwarding "inline". If I change to "as attachment" the original formatting is preserved, as you said.

2) Is the message that contains the forwarded message a plain-text or
HTML message? If you're forwarding as attachment, it shouldn't matter,
but if you're forwarding inline, you should do so as HTML to preserve
formatting.

I haven't explicitly set anything to HTML so I guess I'm forwarding using whatever the default is. I assumed that would default to whatever the forwarded message was formatted as but that's not the case. "Shift+Forward" preserves that original formatting.
