I am using Mac mail on my MBP under OSX Lion. I've got a mail rule set up to forward mail from a specific sender to another person in our office. The mail forwards fine but is always missing the attachment. The email account is on an Exchange 2007 system, and the advanced account preferences are set for "All messages and their attachments".

Ideally, I'd like to set up a rule that does something similar to the "Message > Send Again" menu item, but when I initially tried the "Redirect message" rule, the attachment was missing. Thinking that this was expected behavior for the rule, I switched to a "Forward message" rule, but the attachments are still not forwarded.

Note that when I do either of these actions manually, the attachment is included.

Do I need to do something special with the rule and/or my account settings to forward attachments as well?
