You are not doing anything wrong. MailMate is plain text only in the 
composer and in some cases MailMate fails to convert the message to 
plain text and therefore chooses to forward as attachment instead. I 
have some ideas for how I can improve this (handling HTML messages), but 
I haven't had time to implement it yet.

Off topic: Those of you running the experimental 64 bit version of 
MailMate might want to try the latest test release. I haven't released 
it as a beta yet, because I've made substantial changes. It seems to 
work quite well for me though. I'll welcome some feedback.
