Why don't you get them to attach the message to their message and
forward it as a MIME attachment.  This way nothing should be lost.

I wrote a (trivial) script which is included with bogofilter to process
such message/rfc822 MIME parts so that you can process them with
bogofilter.  You might like to look at it.

It should be in contrib/mime.get.rfc822
