bug#9766: 24.0.50; rmail-forward makes attachment that doesn't read right

[Richard Stallman]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

When I use the f command in Rmail, it generates a message like this:

I have a friend who reads mail using IceDove 2.0.0.24, and these mime
parts appear empty.

Is there anything wrong with these mime parts?
Or is it a bug in that version of IceDove?
