Thanks for the explanations.  Still a little confused.  Can I actually bounce a
message to someone other than the original recipient?  If so how?

     You've seen my public question about what the default behavior should be.
     I'll fix the docs and/or the code for that next week.

     Resent groups in the header start with an obligatory 'Received' line, so
     if you need a Resent-To, you must specify a 'Received' as well.  For now,
     I have improved the docs of bounce() to show it.

     Someone has offered me to implement a way to easily create Received
     fields.  It would also be nice to have a way to create a default
     Received field.  Contributions?  Anyone?

     message

     in bounce(To => $to), the 'To' refers directly to a header fields.  In many
     places in Mail::Box, the capital is used to separate header fields from
     other options.

     in send(to => $to), the 'to' is an option which overrules the 'To' header
     from the message.  It is consequent, but prone to errors.  I have added
     a warning to Mail/Transport/SMTP.pm and dedicated it to you ;)

     :( again

     Sorry that you bump into all these things.  Either most people do not use
     smtp but sendmail, or they not complain enough.  Please continue
     complaining.
