Different mail apps call it different things, but it is usually bounce or
redirect. It sends the message on with the headers intact, so that replies
go back to the original sender and not the person who redirected it.

Outlook and Outlook Express cannot do it.
Why, I don't know, it's the simplest job in the book :-(
