The benefit of redirect/bounce is that it allows the new recipient to
deal with the email as if it was originally destined for them.  I'd
rather have the option of being the intelligent one then assuming/hoping
the user on the other end will properly deal with a forwarded email. 
I'm sure everyone has accidentally replied to a forwarded email rather
then the proper destination.

Not a critical feature for my role (I'm usually the end point of such
chains) but I could see it as a feature that would be a requirement for
some.  I suppose that if Evolution had some more intelligent features
when replying to a message (reply to attached message perhaps) it might
eliminate the need for any bounce/redirect features.

I don't mean to rehash something that was discussed already.  I know
that the way our office deals with certain emails that this does become
an issue.
