I didn't know forw had a -mime switch. Since this is something I'd find
very helpful, I just tried it, but it completely failed to work for me.
The message I tried to forward is described as follows:
# mhlist +wing 3943
msg part type/subtype size description
3943 multipart/mixed 16M
1 text/plain 326
2 application/pdf 3836K a_night_at_the_ballet_2nd.pdf
3 application/pdf 1098K light_vibrations_2nd.pdf
4 application/pdf 2092K sinatra_in_concert_2nd.pdf
5 application/pdf 3629K a_night_at_the_ballet_3rd.pdf
6 application/pdf 1100K light_vibrations_3rd.pdf
7 application/pdf 389K sinatra_in_concert_3rd.pdf
My test was invoked as follows:
# forw -mime +wing 3943
The resulting message is

I wondered if this might be caused by a profile entry.
# grep forw ~/.mh_profile
forw: -filter .forwardfilter -form .forwardform
...but when I tried deleting this entry, the same thing happened:

Here the only difference is the Subject: header; in my first test the
default was empty, and in the second test I left the default value
unchanged.
Please let me know if there's any additional information I can supply
about this.
