Also, in the real world, there are legitimate forwards to people who
have only the dimmest concept that mail is being forwarded to them.
For example, my church has a temporary Sunday school director with an
AOL account.  His email skills are rudimentary, so rather than trying
to set him up in the IMAP or web mail that everyone else uses, I
forwarded the director's role account, which is in a lot of address
books and mailing lists, to his AOL account.  Getting him to do a
magic message thing would be non-trivial.

Right, so the responsibility should be upon the person or system setting up the forwarding. Of course, it should require confirmation by the recipient.
