Sure, but you can *already* forward inline (you just have to go through the menu). 
So the functionality is there, the question is only how to make it available.

This is what I asked for in the above bug report: 

1. There should be a pref for whether you want to forward messages inline or as
attachment by default.

I don't know what more you want.

This is only slightly different from my other request in that bug report, viz.,

2. There should be a context menu or some other way to change the behavior of
the toolbar button, e.g., simple click forwards as attachment (or whatever the
pref says is default), shift-click forwards inline.

Personally, I'd rather not clutter the toolbar with an extra button if all I have to
do is hold down shift otherwise.
