I realize you're not using the gmail app. But I found that I can't get around forwarding or opening attachments in my other email app so I went to my gmail account and had all my other emails forwarded to my gmail (a setting in gmail) so that I can open and forward attachments on my droid. I have no problem forward a message in my email app that doesn't contain an attachment. I just hit menu and then forward and whole message will forward (unless it has an attachment that will not forward). That is why I just bypass my regular email on my droid and have it forwarded to my gmail account so that I can do stuff on my phone. I'm sure you have gmail if you are using the droid so that you can get to the market place. I know it's a pain to use 2 emails but it works for me right now I have lots of emails with attachments that I either have to read or forward and the only way I found to do this is with gmail. I use my other account on my pc. Sorry if this does not help you, I'm just trying to give you an option. I'm hoping with the December 11 update will be fixed.
