I can’t seem to reproduce this. These are my steps so far:

- Set up CategoryA and CategoryB, and assign them email-in addresses (categorya@[MyTestSite] and categoryb@[MyTestSite])
- Set test\_user to Watching for both categories
- Set `email time window mins` to 1 min (optional, but speeds things up)
- Admin posts topic to CategoryA
- Test\_user receives notification email of new topic in CategoryA, and forwards it with message to CategoryB
- New topic is created in CategoryB (with a very ugly title 🙂 - `Fwd: [JammyDodger's Test Site] [categorya] Topic for Category A)`, but only includes the added message, and not the intended forwarded information

I can’t seem to replicate the issue where a forwarded email to a category ends up as a reply to an existing topic? Is there something extra I could try instead?
