Try this - first

    (setq message-forward-ignored-headers ".*")

then

    C-u M-x gnus-summary-mail-forward RET

The ARG will be 4, and you get an "inline" version,
which should be sensible to
`message-forward-ignored-headers', if we are to
believe the help:

    if ARG is nil, see `message-forward-as-mime' and `message-forward-show-mml';
    if ARG is 1, decode the message and forward directly inline;
    if ARG is 2, forward message as an rfc822 MIME section;
    if ARG is 3, decode message and forward as an rfc822 MIME section;
    if ARG is 4, forward message directly inline;
    otherwise, use flipped `message-forward-as-mime'.
    If POST, post instead of mail.
    For the "inline" alternatives, also see the variable
    `message-forward-ignored-headers'.
