You can hack the source to achieve this; just add

  '|| /^From:/i' .

to the definition of $skip_headers in resend.  There's no easy way of
configuring this, though.  You may also have to remove the Message-ID: line
using the same kind of hack because it usually includes the machine name
and may contain an encoded version of the user name.  The same goes for any
X- headers and probably a pile of others.  You should also be sure to strip
any received headers from messages (see the purge_received config option)
because they contain enough information to trace the message back to its
source.

It's a tough problem, really.
