Received an email created in Outlook.  (non-html)   I clicked on forward, and the composer showed the forwarded email correctly.  Everything was there.   When sent, the email contained only the signature (added by kmail), not the message body.  I discovered that by deleting the line of -------------- at the end of the forwarded content, that the message body would be left intact.  But this doesn't happen on all forwarded emails.

Here is an edited version of the email:

Hi to you both,
Tomorrow morning we're heading north to spend Christmas with our kids in Ohio.  It'll take us two days to get there.  We may zip over to Fraser to visit our Michigan family on our return trip.  We expect to be back here to celebrate New Year's day.  You guys have a Merry Christmas with family and all good wishes for the New Year.
 
Keith and Jane
