Hello, 
The default forward action in Kmail used to be "Forward Inline", it changed to 
"Forward as Attachment" in kde 3.1 if I'm not mistaken. By default I mean the 
one you get by clicking the  forward button.

IMO "Forward as Attachment" as default promotes bad style. I'm sure many of 
you had the pleasure of recieving mails with an attachment with an attachment 
with an attachment with an attachment with an attachment with an attachment 
(...). You get the picture. I'd say that for most situations "forward inline" 
is the appropriate one, so it should be default.

There is a whishlist report for this with 180 votes:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53063

I really think this kind of report should have a short period of life - it's 
about standards and users get used to whatever choice is made. If it makes 
sense it should be discussed and decided, and either "Fixed" or maked as 
"Won't Fix". This was reported in January this year...

J.A.
