buildForwardAsAttachmentPayload named the synthetic .eml attachment
using the user's own emailDownloadTemplate, which by default embeds
sender/recipient display names. Since this attachment can go to an
external recipient (e.g. an upstream spam gateway, or anyone else),
the filename now always renders as "{date}-{subject}.eml" regardless
of the user's configured template, while still honoring their
space/case/diacritics preferences.
buildForwardAsAttachmentPayload called buildForwardSubject(email.subject,
forwardPrefix) unconditionally, and buildForwardSubject("", prefix)
returns just the bare prefix rather than "". Normal Forward doesn't do
this - EmailComposer's getInitialSubject() returns "" outright when
!replyTo?.subject, only calling buildForwardSubject when there's an
actual subject to prefix. So forwarding a subject-less message as an
attachment produced "Fwd:" as the subject, while normal Forward left
it blank.
Only call buildForwardSubject when email.subject is truthy, matching
getInitialSubject()'s behavior exactly. Add a test.

buildForwardAsAttachmentPayload called emailExportFilename(email) with
no options, always using the default naming template regardless of
the user's configured emailDownloadTemplate (and space/case/diacritics
transforms) - the same settings the neighboring "Export as .eml"
action already respects. That could produce inconsistent .eml
filenames between the two actions for the same message.
Accept an optional EmailFilenameOptions parameter and pass it through.
handleForwardAsAttachment now reads the same settings
email-viewer.tsx's emailFilenameOptions useMemo does, via
useSettingsStore.getState() (a one-off read inside an event handler,
matching this file's existing pattern, rather than a new reactive
subscription). Add a unit test covering a custom template.

Adds a "Forward as attachment" action to the message overflow menu
(desktop and mobile), right beside the existing "Export as .eml"
action. Opens a new forward-mode compose window with the original
message attached as a message/rfc822 file instead of quoted inline -
useful for reporting spam/phishing to an upstream gateway that expects
the raw original as an attachment (the primary motivating use case:
gateways like MxGuarddog require complete original headers, including
the full mail path, for scanning), or for preserving a message's exact
formatting/headers when forwarding.
Implementation reuses the composer's existing attachment-carry-forward
mechanism (the `attachments` useState initializer in
email-composer.tsx already carries a forwarded message's own
attachments into the new compose via `replyTo.attachments`) - this
just adds one synthetic entry representing the whole original message,
referenced by its existing blobId. No re-fetch or re-upload needed,
since JMAP blobs are account-scoped rather than per-email. The inline
quote-header step (prepareComposerQuoteHeader) is skipped, so the body
starts blank instead of quoting the original.
The core "build subject + attachment entry" logic is extracted into a
pure, unit-tested helper (lib/forward-as-attachment.ts) rather than
left inline in the already-large page component.
Adds the forward_as_attachment locale key to all 24 locales (English
text as a placeholder pending translation, following the existing
add-a-key convention) to satisfy the translations completeness test.
