Ahh, okay, that's right. Hmm.
So, what needs to happen is you need the special settings set before
forwarding, and you need them reset after you finish.
This will begin to get even uglier, but... one thing you could do is
to macro the forward, like so:
# to set ignore settings for forwarding
macro index,pager f \
<enter-command>ignore\ foo<enter>\
<forward-message>
# to restore ignore settings
macro compose y \
<enter-command>unignore\ foo<enter>\
<send-message>
macro compose q \
<enter-command>unignore\ foo<enter>\
<exit>
macro compose P \
<enter-command>unignore\ foo<enter>\
<postpone-message>
There might be other ways to exit the compose screen of a forward, and
you'd need to macro those as well, but they don't spring to mind right
away. Note that these 'unignore foo' bits will happen for every
message you send, not just for the ones that relate to forwarded
messages. If all you're doing is ignore/unignore, this shouldn't pose
a problem, but if you're doing something more complicated (like using
'toggle' or something) where the extra steps should ONLY ever be
performed for forwarded messages, you'd have to do something like
this:
macro index,pager f \
<enter-command>ignore\ foo<enter>\
<enter-command>macro\ compose\ y\ ,y<enter>\
<forward-message>
macro compose ,y <enter-command>unignore\ foo<enter>\
<enter-command>bind compose y send-message<enter>\
<send-message>
