My bad.  I did not  follow the instructions as  you posted them.  I used
the  ``Forward'' option  to forward  your email,  which apparently  does
something a little differently than  when you ``attach'' a message. When
I  sent  an email  and  attached  your  originaly message,  rather  than
recognized it as a message/rfc822 attachment,  it now offers me a choice
of downloading  or viewing  as text. If  I click on  it to  download, it
offers me the correct MIME type, so  presumably, if I have a system that
knows what message/rfc822 is, it should just work.

Did you try just using the Forward button? My Forward button forwards as
an  attachment,  but clearly  Forward  does  something differently  than
attaching a message; not sure why at this point.
