Have you looked at Mutt (http://www.mutt.org)? Mutt will let you do just
about anything with a message. Esc-e is a function much like bounce (which
Mutt also has), but it allows you to edit the message at will, including
the headers. If Resent* headers are required you can insert them. The
"From: ..." line is automatically set to the original sender. If you need
to set the envelope "From ", that can be done as well in the setup file.

Mutt is free, open source, has PGP/GPG support, is *nix only, and has a
very active users list. I don't know of any other MUA that comes close to
the capabilities Mutt has. It's text based, so GUI addicts probably won't
like it.
