I always wondered why forwarding a message with attachment never included
both the message -and- the attachments, as it does in most other mail apps I
worked with, but I'm sure that is a result of a discussion from the past.
However, this may be a good opportunity to reconsider? For myself, as happy
end-user, would expect an option 'forward' (without) and 'forward with
attachment'. Keybindings are again a problem, maybe use F and W resp.
Note there may also raise a confusion with the Ctrl-V for View Source instead
of the Paste option used elsewhere (I know, not applicable here but still...)
