One thing you can do is to change the value of the variable
message-forward-as-mime:

,----[ C-h v message-forward-as-mime RET ]
| message-forward-as-mime is a variable defined in `message.el'.
| Its value is nil
| Original value was t
| 
| Documentation:
| *Non-nil means forward messages as an inline/rfc822 MIME section.
| Otherwise, directly inline the old message in the forwarded message.
`----

as you can see, I have changed it to nil, so people using Microsoft
Outlook can see the text of the email directly included, instead of
having to click on an attachment (which is hard for some people in my
"environment").
