That's true. However, it already does them; those rewrites are already
in the code. You're proposing a new one. My argument was that your
proposal can be repeated in an endless variety of ways (particularly the
"Are there other headers that should be rewritten..." part), and the result
of adopting them would be what? A mess.
Aren't there other tools like procmail that already allow fairly arbitrary
header rewriting? Why reinvent it in resend?
