Isn't "forward as .. attached" the default forward mechanism by now? I
have no problem reading the text even inline when forwarding an email
with another email attached.. Maybe I misunderstand the problem
description. Can you please check if the problem is still there in
Evolution 2.10? If so, please describe exactly the steps to reproduce,
the current result and the expected result. It would be very useful if
you could provide a sample message.

Downgrading since there is a workaround.

Cheers,
