Yep, I've noticed this as well.  I've never worked out exactly the 
scenario when one or the other happens - but my sense is it has to do 
with the MIME types detected in the original mail.  If the message is 
nothing other than ASCII/plain text, it will likely be able to easily 
forward inline.  However, if it is multipart/mixed, MailMate probably 
tries to do the safe thing and forward as an attachment.

I generally prefer forwarding inline; but I haven't looked for a way to 
always do that, stripping out any bits that may make it less feasible.
