I suppose you could reply to the message (r) and just change the
addresses, which would include the previous message "inline".  If you
don't like that it leaks the previous message-id in the In-Reply-To and
References headers, you can just kill them from the buffer manually.

But can i ask why you'd want this?  forwarded messages as RFC 822
attachments are significantly more sane for any MUA to deal with.
