It turns out to be a pretty complicated problem. Every single email client and device formats email forwards differently. The technical challenge is to take the input from a fwd'd thread, account for which client it's coming from and then reformat it in a way that makes sense. Not to mention the fact that the text towards the bottom of a forwarded thread (the earliest messages) is messy and can be difficult to comprehend. Parsing garbage and turning it into something useful is a hell of a challenge.

Yea, androids is much better than iOS. The notification system is by far the worst thing about iOS, but I'm sure that the iOS solution will be good when they do revamp it.
