    No. By design <bounce-message> sends the original header unmodified,
just prepending some Resent-* fields:

| Resent-From: me@myplace
| Resent-To: someone@new
| From: someone@originalsender
| To: me@myplace
| Cc: someone@else, someone@completelydifferent

    And the enveloppe is:

| MAIL FROM:<me@myplace>
| MAIL TO:<someone@new>

    So only someone@new gets the bounced mail. I suppose you can blame
the Gmail MTA for its stupid rewritting of the "From:" header field.


Bye!    Alain.
