It's feasible... but you're _modifying_ the message that you're
claiming to be including in this bounce. I suspect we'd want to
be quite careful with the boilerplate wrapping the inclusion, to
make this clear.

And of course you're adding complexity and bugs.

And if you remove the check at the smtp-transport stage, you
need to think about how to deal with command-line sourced messages
that will be sent outbound via smtp.
