Ok, here we go:

* Create a new canned reply (account/properties/canned replies/new)

* Give it a name (e.g. my forward)

* Enter in the Text-Field the text as wanted (normally, the idea of
  canned replies is something like a "clipboard", so you can insert
  text parts, which you use often. But you can also insert variables
  in the canned reply, like the actual date ($c.date$).
  A complete list is available in the help on 
  "Predefined Variables for Filters and Canned Replies".

  So, if you enter the "special canned reply", the variables are 
  replaced with the information of the forwarded message and therefore 
  you formats the forward as you want!

* To use canned replies, click right mouse button in the message-part
  of a new message.

* To use this special forward, start the "normal" forward, enter the
  recipient-address, clear the whole message-part, right click, choose
  "My forward" and goggle :))
