Just a theory, but do you still have the '-R' option on the resend
command line? Since Jason instructed you to remove the ':' after the 'r'
in the Getopts argument, apparently because your sendmail is downcasing
all the arguments to resend, $opt_r is getting set to one by Getopts
and resend thinks that's the reply_to header. When your resend args are
getting case smashed, it's not safe to have anything but real lower-case
options there. Don't use them or use the @arg-file argument.
