That seems to be a quite conscious decision in the code:

         body = content2reply(message,
                              (type == SEND_REPLY || type == 
SEND_REPLY_ALL ||
                               type == SEND_REPLY_GROUP) ?
                              balsa_app.quote_str : NULL,
                              balsa_app.wordwrap ? balsa_app.
wraplength : -1,
                              balsa_app.reply_strip_html, bsmsg->flow);

Only the various REPLY types get the quote string.  I'm sure all the 
2.0.x versions have been that way, and earlier versions also.  Is there 
a consensus among users or other MUAs that inline-forwarded messages 
should also be quoted?
