Documentation

Non-nil means that messages are forwarded as attachments.

By default, this option is on which means that the forwarded messages are included as attachments. If you would prefer to forward your messages verbatim (as text, inline), then turn off this option. Forwarding messages verbatim works well for short, textual messages, but your recipient won't be able to view any non-textual attachments that were in the forwarded message. Be aware that if you have "forw: -mime" in your MH profile, then forwarded messages will always be included as attachments regardless of the settings of this option.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
8.0.
