When I look to the e-mail in `Sent Items` it is also empty. Something is going terribly wrong when composing, cloning an e-mail when you hit the Forward button.

Part of the reason is that MailMate only has a plain text composer and part of the reason is that forwarding HTML emails inline is a bit of a trial-and-error problem (even for HTML capable email clients). I do have a plan to improve the behavior of MailMate to allow embedding the original HTML of the replied/forwarded message, but apparently I keep postponing this -- probably because I'm afraid it's going to be an infinitely big “can of worms” :-)

Unfortunately, Forward as Attachment has the same issue(s).
