I propose to move all Bounce description to be in the MUA, unless folks think

Um, everything delivers to an MUA. Bounce generation is an MTA feature -
the MUA can't do it properly because it doesn't have access to the DSN
options in the envelope.
Well, certainly the message is *generated* by an MHAS module, but it is
delivered to a mailbox, which is an MUA/MS construct.
The diagram is depicting the destination, so the box needs to be outside of
the MHS.
That leaves where to list it on the Table and where to place the discussion
text about it.
The Table lists who sets the value, so that has to be Source.
The discussion text is about the Bounce Handler, not a Bounce Creator, or the
like. The Handler is simply a mailbox, not a special MHS function. No?
