*not* forwarding (should probably mention this in the wiki).U
In over 25 years of email I have never come across this, so much to learn so
little time.
Any idea how to do this in Thunderbird?
It has a "edit as new message" where you can change the address etc and send?
Would that be close to what is needed?
Kind regards,

There is a "redirect" add-on [1] for Thunderbird. Its intended use is that if,
usually in a workplace scenario, you receive a message that would be more appropriately
handled by a colleague, you can pass it to that colleague. Additional headers are
inserted so that it arrives in the colleague's inbox looking as if it it had been
addressed to them and not to you. This may help your colleague if they file by sender, as
it retains the original sender's address and not your address, as it would if forwarded
in the usual way.
I'd invite Andrei to define what he means by "bounce". The vast majority of spam
reporting agencies I have worked with ask for either headers, or the whole of the offending message
sent as an attachment. No email client I have ever used has offered an option to "bounce".
