#6392: prevent leak of msg-id of original mail when forwarding a mail

 When forwarding an email the mail header contains the msg-id of the
 original received email, this might be a problem to the forwarding person.

 We should remove the following header fields in forwarded mails:

 {{{
 References:
 In-Reply-To:
 X-Forwarded-Message-Id:
 }}}

 There are two scenarios where this can happen:
 - user hits the Forward button
 - user hits the Reply button and replaces the recipients

 btw: also the body contains parts of the original mail header (when
 hitting the Forward button) but this can easily be seen by the forwarding
 person and easily be modified/removed (we do not modify the body).
