I have been using MM for one year only but I haven’t seen any real<br>
issues with forwarding HTML mails. If I forward the whole mail, and I do<br>
it almost daily, it seem to be quoted intact. I can see that using the<br>
preview in composer (composer itself displays only the text).<br>
Occasionally, a forwarded email will become an attachment but I suspect<br>
that has to do with how that email was formatted or rather embedded on<br>
the way to me. If I select a subset of HTML-formatted email to forward,<br>
MM strips the original HTML code and replaces with simple color-coded<br>
quoting layers. It is not always optimal but I understand that it is<br>
virtually impossible to correctly carry on a subset of an<br>
HTML/CSS-formatted email, considering how widely different and not<br>
always correct those are set up. I can turn on markdown mode and bold or<br>
italic some texts as needed.<br>
<br>
Since you are such a long-time user, I wonder whether you do not have<br>
some settings set that affect the way your instance of MM operates. May<br>
be you should carefully review your config file (I use Prefs Editor app<br>
for easy viewing).<br>

<br>
HTML email is a few headers and HTML content. It is not any more<br>
complex than a web page, basically.<br>
<br>
The issue is that when forwarding, MM strips out all the HTML code.<br>
Try viewing the source of an HTML email and you'll see what I mean.<br>
<br>
My point is that the original source is IN the email, else I'd not see<br>
it all prettified, eh? So it's there.<br>
<br>
Why not "just" forward ALL that original source? The head, the tables,<br>
the divs, the body... That way the recipient would see what I see.<br>
<br>
I can understand not doing it for "political" reasons ("all email<br>
should be text"). What I don't understand is why it isn't an option.<br>
Mail can do it; Outlook can do it; Thunderbird can do it; PostBox can<br>
do it... <br>
<br>
As a programmer with over 40 years of experience, I -can- understand<br>
boxing one's self in to a point at which integrating the capability is<br>
a huge amount of work. That would be a legitimate reason for not<br>
offering it (albeit unfortunate.)<br>
<br>
But from a USER perspective, not being able to "just forward" HTML<br>
email is odd, and from a recipient's standpoint... well in my 4<br>
decades, I've -never- received an email that said "to see the html<br>
version, click on the attachment."<br>
<br>
Best wishes, <br>
<br>
