As this document states the behaviour of forwarding messages is
controlled with a few variables in your ~/.mutt/muttrc. It depends on
your default behaviour, but setting following

set mime_forward=ask-yes

in your ~/.mutt/muttrc will calm most people. When you forward a mail,
you will be asked whether you want it MIME decoded. If you hit enter,
the original message will be attached along with the attachments from
the original message. If you hit 'n' the original message will be
included in your message with the preceding "---- forwarde message...
blabla" text.

So long
Thomas
