Was it for the MIME version of forwarding or for the inline version?

The problem we have now is only with the MIME version.

I think what needs to be done is to copy into the buffer where mail is
composed the message in the original form, not in the form we put into
the rmail-view-buffer.

For the definitive answer, I suggest to start Emacs with the default
value of mail-user-agent, start Rmail, forward (to yourself) a message
with attachments, and then look at hoe message.el did it.
