Bug description:
Hello.  I just installed vm-8.0.12.  After making vm-decode-postponed-mime-message in vm-pine.el autoloaded, I have been using this version of vm comfortably until now.  Today, I realized that some (not all) of the html emails I received cannot be forwarded correctly.  What happens is that when I type "z", then the new frame shows up with two windows.
One is asking to enter to whom I want to forward, i.e.g,
 To: 
 Subject: forwarded message from Scitation TOC Alert
 X-Mailer: VM 8.0.12 under 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
etc.
and its buffer title shows the subject of the original email.
Normally, in this window, we see the following:
 [ATTACHMENT *vm-forward-buffer*, message/rfc822]
However, the main body part of this window is completely empty.
Then, another window below that shows the INBOX itself.
Interestingly, when I show the buffers by Ctl-x Ctl-b, the forward window/buffer is not recognized, i.e., it is not listed in the Buffer List.

When I use vm in the non-x mode, i.e., via "emacs -nw -f vm", it's worse.  When I type "z" to such an html email, no visible forward buffer is created, and it promps to INBOX itself, and the minibuffer says:
Buffer is read-only: #<buffer INBOX> .

I am wondering how to fix this problem.  Replying this html email does not have a problem.  Also, forwarding an html email worked without a problem in vm-8.0.11-581.

Thanks!
