Sure, but does anybody just sit on the edge of their chair waiting to
be biffed that a bounce message is waiting for them?  I know I
certainly don't.  I also have my mailer set up to collect those in a
virtual folder so I can deal all such at once, rather than having them
interrupt my otherwise unbroken sequence of fan mail.<wink>

I think it would be a really good idea to digestify these by default.
Well, good enough to submit an RFE:
