With VM 8.2.0b I recently ran into the following problem when
forwarding a mail and attaching a file.

The indications I get when composing the message are alright:

1. vm-forward-message [ATTACHMENT forwarded message, message/rfc822]
2. vm-attach-files-in-directory [ATTACHMENT foo.doc, application/msword]

But actually what is being sent is:

,----
| Content-Type: message/rfc822
| Content-Description: forwarded message
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
`----

which is ok for the forwarded message part.

On the other hand, here is what is sent for the attached file:

,----
| Content-Type: message/rfc822
| Content-Disposition: attachment;
| filename="foo.doc"
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
`----

which is not exactly what you'd expect.

Seems to be a bit of a rare case. The problem was present in version 8.2.0a
as well, but it didn't show up until now.

Attached is a patch in case it is important to you, but it will be in the
next release.

Cheers,
Uday
