In fact, that is true. You can select several messages and do A R
(apply+reply) to have them all quoted in your mail. This may work in
some cases. Cool feature, however, not quite what I need:

1. In most cases I would like to reply to one message and forward
another one with that one.

2. A R requires to have both messages within the same folder, which is
not always the case.

3. A R apparently puts all senders as recipients for the new mail.

Maybe a "attach mail as forwarded message" feature will come up in a
future Alpine release.
