It's a missing feature in rmail-forward, see bug #9521 (now merged
with this one) and a short conversation that started here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2011-09/msg00691.html

You can disable the MIME-attachment style of forwarding by setting
rmail-enable-mime-composing to nil, in which case Rmail will generate
an inline plain-text forwarded message, but I don't remember if that
fixes this particular problem.
