"Bounce" (redirect) a message?

"Bounce" (redirect) a message?

[Peter Davis]

Mutt has a feature allowing you to "bounce" a message (i.e., redirect it
to another address). It simply prompts for the address to bounce to, and
does it. The other address receives the message as if it had been sent
there originally ... original timestamps, no forwards, etc.

Is there a way to do this with gnus?

I use "S D r" (gnus-summary-resend-message) for this.

S D r runs the command gnus-summary-resend-message, which is an
interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `gnus-msg.el'.

It is bound to S D r, <menu-bar> <Post> <Resend message>.

(gnus-summary-resend-message ADDRESS N)

Resend the current article to ADDRESS.

Andreas.

Thanks, Peder.

This looks pretty close, but the description says the 'To:' header is
not altered. I'm not sure if that breaks anything like 'reply', but I'll
try it out.

Thank you.

Thanks, Andreas (and Peder). I did an experiement, and it looks like
this will do exactly what I need.

Thank you!

If you want to change the "To:" (or anything else), then "S D e".
