The current version of Outlook 2003 SP1, and likely
others follow (at least these rules:

If you select MULTIPLE messages and hit Forward then
the messages get properly (with full headers as received)
attached -- BUT if you select one message the message 
gets 'edited' as the text of the outgoing message.

If you drag a message into a draft message it SEEMS
to get properly attached as above.

My method is to ALWAYS select multiple messages (even
when only one is desired) and then remove any 'extras'
that I do not wish to send.

A simple perl script (just a couple of lines) will split 
the message(s) back into individual messages that can
be properly used for feeding Bayes or other classifiers.
