Yes, this is more or less the philosophy I followed. I hate packages
that, before I can use them, require me to obtain and install lots
of _other_ packages.
Now, that's not to say that Majordomo should do everything. For
example, I felt that there were already good applications out there
for retrieving files by email ("ftpmail", or whatever you want to call
them), so I resisted putting any such features into Majordomo for a
long time. Finally, I gave in and put simple "index" and "get"
commands in (which somebody else wrote; sorry I can't recall who right
now). I'm _still_ not sure that was the right decision.
So... Header rewriting is the whole purpose of "resend". Why do some
of it there and some of it in some other package? I mean, if you want
to, feel free, but why make that the standard configuration?
