WFM too, 90% of the time (in this message, too).  But I have seen this
problem NUMEROUS times.  Not the kind of thing I feel like filing a bug
for until 20 people report it on the list, because the hackers are gonna
just say WFM.

This has already been discussed.  As anyone who read my ranting knows, I
totally agree with John.  But meanwhile, John the workaround is to use
Ctrl-J or Actions->Forward->Forwad as Attached.  Unfortunately (and this
is what I'm not happy about) though this forwards everything including
attachments, there is no ability to edit the body of the forward message
to add your own preface explaining why you're forwarding it, to clean up
the message, etc.

On this one I have to say WFM :).  Cursor only disappears temporarily
while holding down delete or backspace for a long time, but it always
comes back.
