I just did, it shows as an attchment. 
Using the latest stable (3.1.4).

I don't have much technical knowledge on the subject. All I know is that the 
default behaviour (meaning what happens when you click Forward), is to open a 
new message with *an attachment* saying forwarded message, 7bit encoding and 
type "email message". When I recieve such a message (or take a look at it in 
the oubox/drafts folder), it shows a message with an attachment. If I have 
"view attachment as icons" selected then it shows an email msg icon, if "view 
attachments" inline is selected it shows it inside a box saying "encapsulated 
message".

Am I missing something here?
