# Why use resend when sending out a digest? It looks like digest will
# compose all of the headers etc properly without the need to run resend
# at all. I.E. all of the rewriting of resend is already embodied in

General principles.  I had more faith in "resend" being able to get
all the header hacking right than "digest".

# It looks like the example aliases slice may have been a historical
# setup before digest got enough smarts to set the To:, and Precedence:,
# and Reply-to: headers.

That, too.
