The recommendation in this section conflicts with the semantics for
Resent-From: defined in RFC 2822. In addition, this recommendation forces
email systems to de-optimise the delivery of messages with multiple
recipients that alias-forward on to the same external site, since it
requires that each alias-forwarding address adds a different header to the
message. This multiple copies of the message are sent on to the external
site instead of just one as at present.

This also applies to section 5.2 of the SUBMITTER specification.

In addition, the suggested use of Resent-From: in section 5.4 is even
further from the RFC 2822 semantics.
