So I tried to install thunderbird to see whether I can have a go at it. No way. Thing wanted to set up an account and refused to play with me without one. Hello thunderbird: if you insist in infantilizing your users this way, I won't ever be your friend. Furrfu. Purged, went on. Internet isn't really helpful. > It has a "edit as new message" where you can change the address etc > and send? Would that be close to what is needed? I don't know. The aim is that the other side gets the original message in as pristine a state as possible (including mail headers!). They are going to train a spam filter on it. You need a bounce whenever you want to let know the other side how the whole message (including the "technical packaging", i.e. headers and all) looked when you received it. Does Thunderbird have a "Forward Message" thingy? It could be this one. The internet isn't very helpful on that either, alas. Some sites say you need a plugin [1] for that. If you want to try things out, you're welcome to bounce a message from this list to me [2], and I'll try to tell you whether the bounce looks good to me. Sigh. Very disappointed of Thunderbird. Trying to make an easy mail interface isn't the same as trying to make an interface for children. Furrfu. Cheers [1] Say WHAT? It's as if my bike needed a plugin to move westward. Doesn't make any sense. [2] pick any one: the idea is that we both have seen it and I have something to compare your bounce to. -- tomás
