Forwarding in mu4e results in an out-of-order draft #218
Description
emacs 30.2
mu4e 1.12.15
org-msg 20260113.1253 (melpa)
When I try to forward a message in mu4e with org-msg-mode active, the components of the draft are assembled in the wrong order and with extra (incorrect) header lines. Specifically:
- The headers of the parent message are populated in the "To:" line (as if that were the citation line)
- The parent message is inserted before the signature block even though org-msg-posting-style is set to "top-posting" and top-posting is working with replies
Example with org-msg-mode active:
To: From: Tim Hadley <hadleyt@pm.me>
Date: Saturday, January 24, 2026 2:45 PM MST
To: Tim Hadley <hadleyt@gmail.com>

Other notes:
- I'm using the citation format configuration changes discussed in Customise reply/forward citation lines (currently sometimes shows several authors in From: and duplicate authors in Cc:) #171, but using the newer #' lambda quoting style because emacs complained until I changed that. Commenting that out of my init file does not change the problem behavior.
- Changing message-forward-show-mml to nil also does not change the behavior---just the content that is inserted.
Thanks.
