Apparently the "official" name (to be confirmed) is "remailing" and it
involves resending the message (mostly untouched) to another address.
Ah, I see. I was betting on "forwarding", but later it occurred to me
that this would wrap the original message (probably without headers :-(
into a part of a multi-part MIME. Drats. Probably you are right.
As far as I know "forwarding as attachment" does not affect the original
message (though this may depend on the client), however it is *not*
appropriate for this particular use-case. I'm guessing because it would
be difficult to distinguish the forwarded message from other
(legitimate) mime parts.
I'll try whenever I have a thunderbird around. Don't hold your breath,
though :-)

If there's any thunderbird expert here: hey, tell us how that works,
and I promise to edit the Debian wiki :-)


There is a mail redirect plugin for TB here, https://mailredirect.sourceforge.io/installation.html. Never used it myself though as I control my own mail server.
