I think Lotus Notes/Domino does this. At least it replaces the first
part of a multipart/report message with a text of its own, and this text
seems to be vaguely related to the enhanced status code.

I wonder if Outlook/Exchange does something similar. The fact that
Exchange (by default?) sends DSNs with only an enhanced status code and no
human readable explanation at all is a strong hint that the programmers
expected the recipient's agent to fill in the human readable explanation.
