Okay. It's done.

There are now 2 extra options:
         Bounce Spam As Attachment
         Bounce MCP As Attachment

The maximum amount of the original message included in the bounce is the
"Max SpamAssassin Size" setting. It needs an upper limit so that it cannot
be used as a denial-of-service attack against the From address in the
original spam message. If it was a genuine message that was mis-tagged as
being spam, this should be quite enough for the original sender to see what
message got bounced.

Do you want a new beta with this included?
