rather than the original one), but so long as procmail forwards the
message entirely unaltered, I have to explicitly add the headers with
formail rather than simply !ing it.

Sorry, but this is not going to change.
1. This is a non-trivial operation to be done by procmail itself (code bloat
   alert).
2. It is a trivial operation for formail.
3. If you want the Resent-* fields, adding them with formail *is* the
   cookbook way of doing it (i.e. it is not considered to be ugly or
   awkward or anything, just normal).
