There are gaps in that explanation of what you do.  Rather than pick
over the fine detail of your set-up, I'll initially suggest trying
something simple.

You're not trying to forward HTML email.  You're trying to forward an
email, any email, as an email rather than a textual representation of
it.  Attaching the email to a new MIME email as a message/rfc822 part
does this.  An easy way to do this is ‘forw -mime 42’ where 42 is the
email's number.  You will see a ‘#forw ...’ at the end of the draft.
After editing the draft, at the ‘What now?’ prompt type ‘mime’ before
sending it in the normal way.

The recipient should be able to treat the attached email as an email in
its own right.

Cheers, Ralph.
