I don't think MailMate has changed behavior, but the current behavior is 
not as good as I would like it to be. In certain cases MailMate enforces 
forwarding as an attachment, because MailMate determines that it cannot 
safely convert the message to plain text. This should at least involve 
some kind of warning allowing the user to force MailMate to try plain 
text forwarding if I cannot come up with something better. It's on the 
todo.

I'm not sure about this, but you might be able to get closer to what you 
want by selecting the text before forwarding (with the “Only include 
selected text” setting in the Composer preferences pane).

Off topic: I'm currently on semi-vacation (expect slow feedback 
answers), but adventurous users are welcome to try out the latest test 
version of MailMate. Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the 
Software Update preferences pane (r3588). It includes a first shot at an 
implementation of Rules and completely (and therefore useless) 
undocumented support for scripts. Read the release notes to see how to 
enable these features.
