  This is adding of complexity that I think is unwarrented, particularly
since resend already munges several of the header lines. It seems to 
me that it would be best to keep all the header rewriting in one
place.

  This piece of functionality would also help some news-mail gateways
that I run. Currently, mail messages that come in from the newsgroup
go to a -gate address. Replies go back to that -gate address rather
than to the whole list, which isn't the right thing to do.
