Subject: replying/forwarding doesn't include text

Someone else mentioned this recently.  I'm using pine 4.21 on my personal
account (yeah yeah, I've asked for them to upgrade it)..  Every once in a while
I see messages where when I reply, no text is in the body.

I have an example of such a message (it's a spam, of course)..  What 
I noticed is that it has two parts, a text/plain and a text/html.
the text/plain part is 0 bytes long.

I even tried deleting the text/plain part, saving to another folder, and
replying to that message..  It still didn't include any text in the 
body.

I am not sure if this is the case for other messages I get where replying
doesn't include any text (sometimes it includes the text as attachments).

Is there some way I can make it include the guts of the message (maybe
even ALL parts) in the reply I make?

  It may be that the message did not have a body but only attachments
which Pine knows how to display (and does!), so when replying, you only
reply to the empty body.

  I agree, however, that it would be nice to have at least the displayed
message included in the reply/forwarded text. After all, it's easier to
delete what you do not want included than including attachments in the
body of the message.

But it didn't include attachments either even though I have that set in the
prefs.

Are you sure?, usually attachments are only included as attachments, not
as body of the message.

Yup,  
           [X]  include-attachments-in-reply               
 
is turned on, and I just tried replying to the message, and 
there was nothing listed in the 
Attchmnt: 

header field.

That's a bug then. Hopefully the Pine team will take care of it soon.
