<para>Forwards the message to a new recipient.
Using <guimenuitem>As Attachment</guimenuitem> the message and its attachments
will become an attachment of the new message. The original message headers will
be included in the forwarded message, too.

Using <guimenuitem>Inline</guimenuitem>, the message's text and some important
header fields will be copied to the body of the new message with a text marking
the forwarded part. Attachments will be forwarded as attachments of the new
message.

<guimenuitem>As Digest</guimenuitem> concatenates the messages together as a
MIME digest attachment.

<guimenuitem>Redirect</guimenuitem> works like forward, except that the message
stays the same (even the <guilabel>From:</guilabel> field). The user who
redirected the message is added in special header fields (<literal>Redirect-From</literal>,
<literal>Redirect-Date</literal>, <literal>Redirect-To</literal>, &etc;).
