My take on the DRUMS decision was
that Resent-* headers are for User Agent manual resends. If Sieve is
running on an IMAP server, then Resent-* headers shouldn't be generated,
IMHO.
As I recall, we didn't discuss cases such as Sieve, only user-agent
filtering and automatic, .forward style. The consensus was to generate
Resent-* on the former, not the latter.
So, where would Sieve fit in? I say Sieve, being (a) under the direct
control of the end-user, and (b) acting conditionally based on
per-message criteria, is essentially an extension of the UA, and thus
Resent-* headers should be generated. By comparison, I consider Sieve
to be equivalent to existing filtering in many clients, which often
supports a forward action.
