PS:

A real pitfall is that you might forward a message in plain text only,
you edit the plain text and don't notice that the HTML text of the
original mail is attached. I wonder that this could happen, that HTML
becomes an attachment when forwarding plain text, but I noticed this for
3.13.2-1-geb0880-dirty. So it's really useful to check the mail
addresses and attachments before sending.
