I would like it if I could "bounce" email from the mail user agent window.

While I know that this is technically wrong, I have seen the mailer agent for
MacOS X generate a "no such address" (or whatever) message on command.  That is,
I have watched my room-mate select a message and then bounce it, causing a
well-formed (but bogus) return of the email to its source.

This form of bounce is usefull for a small subset of spam.  In particular the
condition where you receive the "one of our affiliates/new account" style SPAM.

I fully understand that this is "wrong" and all... It would just be incredibly
useful. 8-)
