mutt has a "bounce" feature ('b' for bounce) that simply remails the message
with a new destination (but leaves all the other headers unchanged).  As far
as I can tell it's indistinguishable from the message simply hitting another
mailserver along the way (a very normal thing).  It perserves all of the headers
including the date, To:, and From:.

I don't know if Thunderbird has the same feature, though.  You might look into
procmail, and/or may have to convert the Thunderbird mailbox into a standard
mbox/mailbox/maildir format if it's not already in such a format.
