resend assumes that it finds an "Approved" header in the
body that the header is about to follow. 
Unfortunately this may not always be true.

In particular I would like to have several lists
moderated by non unix types.  These lists are typically
announcement type lists.  The indiviual making the
initial posting is typically going to be the moderator.
Unfortunately they won't have easy means of inserting
an "Approved" line as part of the header.

But if they insert the "Approved" line in the body
resend will expect headers to follow.  Since there
won't be any, the result is missing headers.

I am considering a couple of alternatives:

Create an approve like header for use in the body
that does not look for headers in the body.
For example "List-Approval:"

Change the behaviour of resend.  If it finds an
"Approved" header look for headers immediately
following, if it finds some then use them otherwise
keep what it has.
