Have you looked at forward_decode and mime_forward_decode? They
purport to control the decoding of complex MIME into text/plain when
forwarding.
I have the following in my .muttrc and a forward of the aforementioned
html only hotmail mail converts successfully and cleanly.
set forward_decode # decode messages when forwarding without MIME
unset mime_forward_decode # decode messages when forwarding with MIME
