Iirc, if you forward as attachment, then the attachments are included.

That's strange: the icon list has multiple selection enabled, but I can't 
seem to select more than one at a time (1.4.1). And the `save current 
part' menu item isn't promising: it looks as though it's designed for a 
single selection mode. `Save selected parts' would be better, if it 
doesn't break any current capability. That needs looking into...
