For the same reason From: has to be signed --- they represent the

signed though.  In terms of interoperability it is not required, but
in terms of being useful it seems like it is.

So if message has Resent-From field would SSP check be done against From
or Resent-From or both?
From.  Always From, unless there is a valid signature where the signing
address matches the From address, in which case no SSP check is required.
