Description
If an attachment has not been downloaded before, redirecting the message doesn't include the attachments (and shows an appropriate warning). Nevertheless, it would be good to ask the user whether he wants to download the attachments now, because many users don't see the warning and in most cases redirecting a message without it's attachments is not helpful.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the message-forwarding flow and the existing warning for undownloaded attachments and inline images. Done means forwarding can ask whether to download missing content and includes it when the user agrees.
