Iʼve compared emacs-26 and emacs-27, and the code is the same, which
leads me to suspect something different in your
configuration. 'message-forward-ignored-headers' is applied even when
forwarding as MIME (despite the docstring), except when
'message-forward-show-mml' is nil, or when itʼs 'best' and the
forwarded message is either signed or encrypted. Or maybe youʼre
forwarding from inside the *Article* buffer, I think Gnus behaves
differently then.
