Actually, the Resent-Date and Resent-Message-Id fields should be

I actually checked the sendmail book after my first reply, and it
appears that sendmail will (re)generate a Resent-From: header from the
envelope if there are any 'known' Resent- headers, just as it will
generate Resent-Message-Id and Resent-date headers.  Empirical testing
confirms this for sendmailV8, so you can actually get away with just
tacking on a Resent-To header, and sendmail will cover the others.
