"Quickly get rid of annoying emails from "known" sender."
Version: Restore Bounce Mail Button To Lions Mail.app 1.0
Pros
Easy and fast way of getting rid of stupid emails from stupid people.
Cons
None, if you use it the right way. NOT FOR SPAM!
Summary
Apple should have given people the option of using this. For all those that say it does"t work: it does if you want to "bounce" someone with a valid email address. For all other (frequent) unwanted emails use "rules" in Mail preferences.

"Worthless. No, worse than that."
Version: Restore Bounce Mail Button To Lions Mail.app 1.0
Pros
Nothing. Didn't work.
Cons
Modified the app with no apparent way of uninstalling the changes. Left "backup" files with no instructions of how to restore things back to the way they were. Had to grab another clean copy of the app from another Mac. I should have made a copy before doing the mod but all's well now.
Summary
Run away from this piece of turd as fast as you can.

"Restores Useless Feature"
Version: Restore Bounce Mail Button To Lions Mail.app 1.0
Pros
There are no pros to this software.
Cons
Totally useless. Most spam is from botnets and the spammer will never get any bounces and really doesn't care.
If this feature actually worked, Apple wouldn't have removed it.Summary
Mail gateways can reject a message (bounce). Once mail has been accepted by a server, a user can NOT send a bounce to the real sending server. In the case of spam, a user client can only "bounce" a message to an address in message header which is usually invalid or forged.
There is a near zero chance of a user bounce going to actual spammer and a pretty good chance of this attempted bounce landing in mailbox of an innocent bystander. At worst, using this software forwards the spam to an innocent bystander.
