Documentation

Non-nil means forward messages as an inline/rfc822 MIME section.

Otherwise, directly inline the old message in the forwarded message.

When forwarding as MIME, certain MIME-related headers in the forwarded message may be removed/altered to ensure that the resulting mail is syntactically valid.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 27.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
