An example is when someone changes roles but is still getting mail intended for the old role. They want to send old-role messages to the new person in that role and have it behave as if the message had originally been sent to the new person --- i.e., they want to wash their hands of the message entirely.

I recognize the concept, and believe that I could make a supporting MUA do this. The question is, how does the server BS _know_ that this is what happened, instead of the man in the middle making some self-serving changes and saying "Here it is, just as I got it." In a perfect world, not likely, but you are doing this because of some "bad actors", right? If I can think of it in a few seconds of reading this morning's email, then someone else will figure a way to benefit from it. Better to figure out, now, how to prevent it.
