I use it a *lot*. Forwarding and bouncing have two very differnet
purposes. Forwarding is for "here, I want you to see a copy of this, but it
wasn't sent to you." Bouncing is "you sent this to the wrong address, so
I'm going to resend it to the right address, but I really don't feel like
getting into that with you right now." It's also "I want this mail message
on a different account instead of this one."
