Do you mean I must manually type v every time I need to forward a
message, just in case it has binary attachments?  That would be a
nuisance.  I surely hope you meant that typing f will do that (and
whatever else is necessary) for me.

Before the change, f _never_ worked when the original message included
attachments.  No mail agent I use, including Rmail, was able to
display the forwarded message correctly, including its attachments.
After the change, f does work.  So reverting the change is going
backwards.  If the change introduces bugs in some specific situations,
those bugs should be fixed, without reverting the change itself.
