I get the impression that MUAs are increasingly able to handle the machine-readable part of a MIME bounce in a friendly way, so it should be possible to make them *less* intimidating to non-geeks. One example (from Ned Freed) is automatic translation of extendedstatuscodes into the local language. However I haven't worked out a sensible way of implementing ESCs in Exim without loads of ad-hockery or without requiring the sysadmin to configure them explicitly (which implies that the sysadmin should know how to choose them). And although they have more information than basic SMTP status codes, they are still rather limited. So it isn't a small project...
