Quick answer, you can't, that I know of, with either Pine or Elm.
The message is simply resent, as is, to the address you specify, you
can't modify it nor is any record, that you can get to, kept about
the bounce.

I haven't edited my .pinerc file in a while so I don't really know,
but I don't think so.  One thing you could try would be to use Elm
forward and then manually edit the header.  Never tried it but
might work.  Of course, that's going to be a lot of work, you'll have
to do it for each item.  When I need to add a comment I just say
to heck with it, use forward, add comments and remind everyone it isn't
really from me (unless I decide to "bounce" it to our error account
at UBVM so I can add comments and preserve the From: , which I rarely do).
 
Just a suggestion, but have you thought of going to semi-moderated
rather than full moderation?  We've  got over 3,000 subs and moderately
heavy traffic and have had no real problems, other than spams, in over
five years, even through AMERICAN.EDU (except the spams, of course).
You, of course, know your list best and what is needed.  Good luck on
whatever course you take.   Douglas
