There isn't anything that you can put in your message (or option to set
within Pine) to ask that an undelivered message be bounced back to you (or
not).

This is purely a function of the intermediate and final mail delivery
systems.

That said, the default for such systems is usually to return undeliverable
mail to the sender.

The "bounce" options that you mention are nothing to do with returning
undeliverable mail.  Instead they are to do with a command (B - Bounce)
that allows you to redirect a message you have received on to someone
else, but making it appear (for reply purposes) as if it still originated
from the original author rather than yourself.

Specifically, the "enable-bounce-cmd" enables this Bounce (B) command; it
is not available by default to avoid confusing new users.  And the
"fcc-on-bounce" option tells Pine to save a copy of a message you Bounce
in any Fcc folder you have set up (the default is not to do so).

Cheers,
