I don't know what it is called in Thunderbird, but with the text-
based Mutt mailer this is called a "bounce" instead of the normal
"forward".  Bounce sends a duplicate of the message, attachments
and all, to the email address specified in the bounce command.
Hopefully, TB has something similar, and perhaps the name will
help you find it.
