I have Thunderbird configured to save draft emails in encrypted form. Today, I wanted to send someone one of my draft emails so I right clicked it and selected "Forward As" > "Attachment", however the person reported they couldn't read the email.

I've forwarded the email to myself and could reproduce that Thunderbird only shows an empty body and a crossed out lock at the "OpenPGP" button with the message "Message Cannot Be Decrypted".
