And btw for those that say just click the format button (hi tillman),

Hi.

So anyway, it's not that I want to _convert_ the original plain text
message, but rather, I want to create a NEW email (in rich text) that
contains plain text from another email that I want to forward.

You can't change the underlying formatting of a message part way through.
It's either all Plain Text, all HTML, or all Rich Text. You're asking for a
cat to become a dog halfway between the snout and tail.
