Steps to reproduce
When I use the "forward as attachment" option, I usually end up sending an empty email. I think I need to click the "download complete message" first before it properly forwards the email.
Expected behavior
That it attaches the email
Actual behavior
The attachment is an email with only the headers

Research direction
Start by reproducing the "forward as attachment" flow in Thunderbird for Android, comparing it with and without downloading the complete message first. Trace the forwarding-as-attachment entry point and verify that the resulting attached email contains the full message body rather than only headers.
