For one thing, .foward is _much_ older than rfc822 attachements.
Changing behavior would expect rfc822 attachements to be ubiquitous.

I've just realized that the .forward capability in sendmail operates
differently than my MUA, thunderbird, does when I manually forward..
Two different rules for two different roles, an MTA is actually re-routing
the original message the MUA is forwarding the content of the message in a
new message.
This is how it is supposed to work, whether or not it is a wholly Good
Thing is another matter.
