May I?
If the recipient doesn't really want to see the original message
headers then forward the message.
If you wish to have nothing to do with the message except relaying it
then MIME forward it. I do realize that the ignorant have abused MIME
forwarding leading to the creation of messages with MIME attached messages
which themselves contain MIME attached messages which themselves contain
MIME attached messages ........ <keep going another 5 cycles> GRRRR!. The
AOL based chain letter/joke is one prime example. But that doesn't negate
the usefulness of MIME forwarding when used in a selective and
constructive manner.
