This bug concerns trying to forward an existing message in a Rmail
mbox. Thus, the easiest way is to start with a known Rmail file. I've
attached a gziped mbox file; save it and gunzip it.
Now, start emacs 28.1 -q, find the mbox file, then do M-x
rmail-mode. You should have three messages. Try forwarding any of them
with 'f'; you will see that there are extra >'s in the proposed message
to send; this is the bug. (There should be no >s before From level 1, 1
'>' before From level 2, etc.) It is no longer necessary to worry about
the patch for 9521.
Pictorially, the text we are trying to forward should be:
|From level 1
|>From level 2
|>>From level 3
where the leading |s are to prevent quoting.
Note that this bug is likely related to #13328
(https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13328).
