- Add a "bounce" command as requested by garbled@.
From the manpage:
bounce Takes a list of messages and prompts for an address to bounce the
messages to. All the original header fields are preserved except
for the ``Delivered-To'', ``X-Original-To'' and ``Status''
fields. The new ``To'' field contains the bounce address(es)
plus any addresses in the old ``To'' field minus the user's local
address and any on the alternates list. (See the alternates com-
mand.)
1) Statification of modules.
2) Implement the 'detach' and 'Detach' commands for extracting mime
parts from messages.
3) Teach mail to output "In-Reply-To" and "References" header fields
when replying so others can thread us.
4) Implement threading, sorting, and tagging, supported by the
following commands: 'flatten', 'reverse', 'sort', 'thread',
'unthread', 'down', 'tset', 'up', 'expose', 'hide', 'tag',
'untag', 'invtags', 'tagbelow', 'hidetags', 'showtags'.
See the manpage for details (when available - soon).
5) Implement a 'deldups' command to delete duplicate messages based on
their "Message-Id" field, e.g., in replies to a mailing list that
are also CCed to a subscriber. (This can also be accomplished with
the threading and tagging commands.)
6) Implement 'ifdef' and 'ifndef' commands, and make the conditionals
nestable (i.e., implement a conditional stack). The if/else/endif
commands existed before, but they were primitive and undocumented.
The 'if' command currently recognizes the "receiving", "sending",
and "headersonly" mode keywords.
7) Teach the message selecting routine to understand regular
expressions if "regex-search" is defined. Otherwise only case
insensitive substring matches are done (as in the past).
8) Teach the message selection routine to understand boolean
expressions. Improved "colon-modifier" support. See the manpage
for details (when available - soon).
9) Extend paging to all commands (where relevant).
10) Add shell like piping and redirection of (standard) output (if
"enable-piping" is defined). Extend completion to these contexts.
11) The manpage should follow soon!!!!
1) Removed the -B flag (it was stupid on my part) and added a short
description indicating how to accomplish the same thing under the
"Sending Mail" section of man mail(1).
2) Added a -H flag to dump the headers and exit. It takes optional
flags to restrict to old, new, read, unread, and deleted messages
(the later being kind of useless - it shares code with something
that already had it).
3) Restored the 'Save' command which somehow got mistakenly removed in
the last commit and add documentation for it! (My apologies to
its author.)
4) Added a 'mkread' command to mark messages as read (the inverse of
'unread'). Should we also have a 'mknew' command?
5) Added a 'smopts' command to keep a database of addresses and
sendmail options to be used when sending messages to those
addresses. See man mail(1) for a fuller description.
6) Added 'indentpreamble' and 'indentpostscript' variables whose
values are inserted before and after a quoted message (~m or ~M
escapes).

7) Added string formatting abilities for the 'prompt', 'insertpreamble',
'insertpostscript', and header display strings. These strings
support all the strftime() format parameters as well as many more
specific to mail (see man mail(1)).
8) Fix the -a flag so that it only takes a single filename, unless
"mime-attach-list" is defined. This is more conventional and avoids
unexpected whitespace issues.
