One of my local lists is a 'closed' list, and all postings to this
list need to be 'approved' before they are sent out. Thus, we use the
'resend' script. The list config file specifies a posting password.
The list moderator wants to have a centered title at the top of his
postings. Unfortunately, it seemed that resend would "eat" these
lines that started with a space character, resulting in the title
disappearing from the mailings. Then, he tried starting these
centered lines with a non-space character, such as '.' and '['. These
caused the title to be sent through, but then 'resend' adds the
'Sender' and 'Precedence' lines below the title, yet above the message
body. Here is an example:

Has anyone already patched their resend script for this specific
problem? I'd rather not re-patch the wheel.
Thank you for your time.
