When bouncing e-mails...
Ant
e-mails without using forward method, but I still want the receipt(s) to
know it was resent.
Thank you in advance. :)

Perhaps you are looking for <resend-message>, bound to <Esc>e by
default, iirc.

When I try that, it goes back to edit mode. I just want to resend it and
tag it with "bounced" or "resend", or something in the e-mail. Some
people think why my bounced e-mails are duplicates because they have
seen it before but they didn't remember my e-mail. I just want to prove
that I resent it.

This works for me:
#v+
macro index,pager B "\
<enter-command> set my_editor=\$editor \
editor=\"sed -i -e 's/\^Subject:/& [bounce]/'\"<enter>\
<resend-message>\
<enter-command> set editor=\$my_editor &my_editor<enter>\
<send-message>\
" "bounce marked"
#v-
- note the escaping of ^ in the sed command
- if your sed doesn't support -i, you have to write a little
shell script that creates a temp file and use that.
- you might want to take more precautions in case a mail has
Subject: at the beginning of a line in the body
- if you mutt version does not support $my variables you
have to hard code the resetting of the editor

How about the bounce-message function, bound to b by default? It adds
the following headers.
Resent-From:
Resent-Date:
Resent-Message-ID:
Resent-To:

Under the condition that the recipients know how to look at,
errmh, unusual headers ;-)
Other than that, thanks for clarifying the canonical solution.

Could this be accomplished with <send-hook> ?

Oh, I didn't even see these headers added in bounced e-mails. This is
enough. :)

"Ever watch ants just crawling around? They walk in that single straight
line, a long, a long, long mile of ants. Sometimes they will walk over
and pick up their dead friends and carry those around. I'm pretty sure
it's because they can get in the carpool lane and pass up that line."
