Attachment disappear when forwarding a mail with attachment in a rule

Could anyone verify my problem please?

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and Mail 6.1

I have a rule set up in Mail to forward certain messages.

However, since the upgrade, all messages being forwarded has all attachments striped.

It appears that the problem occurs only when forward is being used by a rule.

When I forward the same message manually, the attachment is sent as well.

Am I missing something?

Many thanks in advance.

Update:

Found the answer last night.

Forward mail in a rule behaves differently since OS X Lion from previous versions.

Forward mail set in a Rule would not forward any attachments in the original email.

If forwarding with attachments is required, use redirect in the Rule instead. (However,

you cannot append any message when using redirect)
