Thanks for all the feedback. I didn't know that I would start such a thread. 
Impressive.

I'll take 'Umleiten' I think because 'Unverändert weiterleiten' is just too 
long. Even 'Nachrichten-Quelltext' is too long for my taste.

Btw, if you all have other suggestions about better translations, please tell 
me. IMP seems to get into a quite stable state if you can say so from the need 
of new translations, so it's probably a good time 'um ein paar holprige 
Überzetzungen auszubügeln' (No idea how to say that in English!)
