Ken's explained that side of things.  I did have another idea.

    $ cat 2
    from: me@here.example.com
    to: Foo Bar <foo@bar.example.com>, xyzzy@example.com
    cc: Xyzzy <xyzzy2@example.com>
    resent-to: postmaster@example.com
    resent-cc: abuse@example.com
    $
    $ whom 2
    whom: illegal header line -- resent-to:
    whom: illegal header line -- resent-cc:
    whom: re-format message and try again
    $
    $ sed -i 's/^resent-//' 2
    $ whom 2
      -- Network Recipients --
      foo at bar.example.com
      xyzzy at example.com
      xyzzy2 at example.com
      postmaster at example.com
      abuse at example.com
    $
