Restore bounce to Mail in Lion

Hi,

Does anyone know of a tweak or 3rd party program / patch to restore the bounce button capability?

It seems like I found a possible work around this morning that added the bounce function back via a tweak of the Mark Message as Junk button, but my first attempt at implementing it did not work and I can't find that thread again.

Thanks much!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7), Late 2010, OS X 10.7, pimpin' hard

Three latest OSXs never had bounce.

Thanks

Or they could just resist reviving this old thread without adding anything new of value.

I'm curious, if I use the patch job to restore bounce feature, will that patch impact future version upgrades?

I don't remember when they removed Bounce but there have been more than one update to Mail since and I have had no problems updating and then adding the patch personally. I've done it more than once as their were new updates. Perhaps it last appeared in Snow Leopard and then I had it in Lion and now Mountain Lion if so.

Thanks rivmo, BTW for clarity, which patch have you been using?

this thread is really old, and i don't want to keep entering it because it was answered earlier on. I'm referencing the same script called Restore Bounce that i thought everyone was talking about which is at http://download.cnet.com/Restore-Bounce-Mail-Button-To-Lions-Mail/3000-20429_4-7 5629050.html or something like that. See the older posts in the thread near the beginning.

The Bounce feature is mandatory in our organization. Once installed in our Macs I have never seen any upgrades have any difficulties, or cause the Bounce feature to stop working.

I think he was asking about future upgrades.

Obviously, one can never know for sure. With so many people adding the Bounce feature back to Apple Mail it is likely a new fix would be written if the old patch fails.
