   I was thinking to the same feature. My problem is worse than yours,
because every time I want to copy-paste a sent message, evo crashes. I
have to copy-paste to gedit and then from gedit to a new message. This
problem apparently doesn't come up when I try to copy-paste a received
message (same as 'forward inline').. it's just a problem of 'resend to
other' copy-paste thingie !

   Right click on the message header, you'll see two wonderful options,
one is named 'forward' wich forwards as an attachement, and the other
one is named 'forward inline' which creates a message from the message
you want to forward.

    So long,
