This is something that your MUA (Mail reader) should do. It will be different
for every MUA.

I use mutt - that has got a 'bounce' command that works in much the same way as
does 'forward'.

Forwarding will make the email appear to come from you. It will also change the
message body to say that the message was forwarded from xxx@yyy.

Bounce does not change the message body at all; it will make minimal header
changes.

I have no idea - I do not use gmail; spend some time to see if it has the
ability.
