  In the standard Sieve language this is still not possible. It is 
possible to "enclose" an e-mail, but it is explicitly not allowed to 
redirect something like that; it can only be stored. I still don't know 
why. Also, the enclose extension is not implemented for Pigeonhole so far.

If you need it for a very specific task, you can try the sieve_pipe 
plugin for Dovecot v2.0:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Pipe

You can then write your own script that does the forward-as-attachment 
action. As I indicated earlier, I'm working on a more intricate plugin 
for Dovecot v2.1.
