Well, I'm not doing any.

Personally, I hate this because when you've made a simple typo in an
address, it is much easier to forward the bounce to the correct address
and tidy it up by cutting out the error message at the top. If you have
to go and extract stuff from an attachement, it's more work. But that's
just my preference.

Anything other than a simple text message can also be very confusing to
naive users. (They tend not to read error messages as it is.)
