Bounces to where ?

The bounces ARE in MIME, but frobbing them into HTML is ...
That would involve my dead body, which I am not keen on supplying.

And for that matter, people who you do want to punish do run MUAs, which

But then, vger sends those reports to linux-kernel-owner, who needs no
additional punishment...
