Attachment action - possible enhancement...

I haven't really thought through all the possible implications of this, but thought I'd throw it in for discussion...

We see a lot of replies to spam (principally caused by Outlooks 'Out of Office AutoReply', and those that request delivery notification) sitting in our outgoing queue not being delivered.  As we are reformating the message to put it into an attachment how about changing the sender address from the headers and envelope, so that any downstream bounce/ autoreply just gets dumped.  The information could be preserved intact in the atttachment (which many mail clients will open as a seperate message anyway)

Thoughts???
