Try adding these to .muttrc:

message-hook . "set mime_forward=no"
message-hook "~h multipart" "set mime_forward=ask-yes"

I didn't remember why these worked (just that I have them in there), so I Googled:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=cd8754eb.0303061453.6e6bad87%40posting.google.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dmessage-hook%2B.%2B%2522set%2Bmime_forward%253Dno%2522%250A%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg

Hope that helps!
