So?
So it should be done by a tool like formail. And since we want to avoid
duplicating effort, this effectively bans the functionality from most other

What if the Resent-* fields are already there? There are too many decisions
that need to be made before adding those fields. The only way to give the
I agree with this reasoning, but it sure would be nice if it was
easier to add Resent-* headers. Right now you have to replace a
single '!' with something along the lines of
| formail -b \
-i"Resent-To: xxx" \
| $(SENDMAIL) -t -oi xxx
I got so tired of doing that (and you probably want to add several
more headers as well, such as a 4-digit Resent-Date: and Errors-To:)
that I put it all into a shell script.
So procmail itself isn't the right tool; doing it in formail is
straight-forward, although somewhat cumbersome. Is there a better
alternative than my "resend-message" script?
