With mutt:
1) Tag all the messages (Shift-T ~A <enter>)
2) bounce all tagged messages to another address (;b <address>
This bounces the messages - ie it remails the message as is without
adding any other headers or text. It means the emails will retain the
original from and to address. A forwarded message will get new from and
to addresses.
