  Ditto on that.  I also use it to transfer e-mails from one account to
another, the advantage being that in the second account, it doesn't look
like all the bounced messages came from me (as it would if I forwarded).  
  Basically, bounce is a "must have" feature, one that would make or break
Evolution for me.  I don't care if I have to go into config to turn it on,
but if bounce isn't there, I'll stick to using Pine.  And I think there
are others who feel the same way.
