Although I can drag the original message I'm trying to forward into the new blank message, the resulting attachment becomes 1.eml and when received in my Gmail account, contains nothing but HTML code.

Here's the kind of thing that gives me an attack of the vapors (You might need to look that up. Your photo looks youthful.) If in AccountProperties-Templates-Forward, the Forward-messages-as-attachments (MIME standard) is ticked, then SHIFT-ALT-F5 generates a forward with the with the HTML attachment intact. However, clicking on the FORWARD arrow at top generates a forward with the HTML attachment replaced with the 1.eml attachment. If on the other hand in AccountProperties-Templates-Forward, the Forward-messages-as-attachments (MIME standard) is UN-ticked, then SHIFT-ALT-F5 now produces a forward with 1.eml replacing the original HTML attachment. However, clicking on the FORWARD arrow at top generates a forward *WITH* the HTML attachment *JUST AS IT USED TO BE* before I upgraded to 4.2.36.4. I was sure I tried every possible combination of generating forwards before I asked for help but I see now this old addled brain must be on a downward, slippery slope towards senility.
