You will get the same headers in the forwarded version that you see when
viewing the message, IFF you have $forward_decode set.

BTW, this is probably the best behaviour, but it's contrary to what the
manual currently indicates:

  Forwarding can be done by including the original message in the new
  message's body (surrounded by indicating lines) or including it as a
  MIME attachment, depending on the value of the ``$mime_forward''
  variable.  Decoding of attachments, like in the pager, can be
  controlled by the ``$forward_decode'' and ``$mime_forward_decode''
  variables, respectively.  The desired forwarding format may depend on
  the content, therefore $mime_forward is a quadoption which, for
  example, can be set to ``ask-no''.

  The inclusion of headers is controlled by the current setting of the
  ``$weed'' variable, unless ``mime_forward'' is set.

Thoughts?

$forward_weed was an old option that controlled this.  It went away in 1.2:

- The various weeding options are gone.  You have one global option,
  $weed, now which can be influenced using configuration commands,
  or using the display-toggle-weed function (this used to be
  display-headers!).  This option is applied when forwarding,
  replying, or printing messages. Essentially, this means that you
  have some "WYSIWIG-like" behaviour with respect to message header
  weeding.
