Possible to bounce messages? #325

Is it possible with astroid to bounce mails? I did not find anything about it in the issues or documentation. (Here an explanation in the mutt docu about that http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#forwarding-mail ).

I regularly used that feature when people send me request which should have gone into an issue tracker. I then bounced the mail to issue@tracker.org and there it can be processed as if the sender initially send the message to the issue tracker.

Currently only using 'E' to edit as new. That should drop most headers and re-encode the e-mail though. To bounce without actually editing the email would require a special compose-mode since it won't be possible to edit the message, since otherwise headers and mime structure would be re-encoded.

Thanks @gauteh so for now I'll use E.
