Subject: RE: mostly open issues
What is the issue with a "resend" action? I do not think these definitions
will confuse users:
Resend -- insert "Resent-" headers and then forward.
Forward -- forward the message (without modification).
Given these definitions, users have a clear choice of behaviour.
I tend to agree with you, Alan.
There is another twist on this. I venture to say that a Sieve implementation
MAY choose to forward a message using MIME encapsulation. In such a case
resent headers MUST NOT be inserted. This should be enough for seriously
considering Alan's suggestion.
