Add a "forward email" button to the mailbox

Alex requested to merge 1668-email-forward into master

Part of #1668

What does this MR do?

There is a new button next to the reply button that allows forwarding an email. I had to restructure some of the mailbox frontend code for this. Also, when replying to an email, the subject will be prefaced by a 'Re: '.

Attachments can not be forwarded yet:

How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?

very sure, only frontend changes
