It can be done, depending on your mail system.  To edit an "ok" approval
item you have to strip out part of the header and the "ok approval"
blurb, including the "---Original Message---" line.  You then have
an item you can edit and forward/bouce, according to how your system
works, and it will say it is from the original sender but, for those
who can see it, there will be a "resent" field for you (doesn't show
up on most people's systems unless the go looking for it, and may not
even then). Of course there are some systems that will interpret your
resent field as the from field but there's not much you can do about
that except gripe.
