Subject: Using resend - Can you rewrite the "To: " line?

  I run several mail/news gateways. Mail to the list goes out to the
entire mailing list and is sent off to the news gateway. Mail from
the news gateway only goes out to the mailing list via an alias
that is generally <list>-gate. I use resend (Majordomo 1.90) to send
it out. The lists are configured with Reply-to: rewritten to $SENDER
as per the desires of the list members.

  Unfortunately, the "To:" line is left as "<list>-gate". so if you
do a global reply, it only goes out to the sender and to the gateway
address. This means that it does *not* go back out to the newsgroup,
which isn't the desired behavior.

  Is there any way to use resend to modify the "To:" line to be
"<list>" without causing the mail coming in from the news gateway
to actually go to <list> which would cause a mail/news loop.

  This would allow people to reply to just the sender or group/global
reply to the sender, the mailing list, *and* the newsgroup.

-David
