[Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>]

could a sendmail expert comment on whether or not unconditional "-t" in
mail/sendmail.el `sendmail-send-it' in the presence of Resent-* headers
is appropriate?  my gut feeling is that this change was intended as
temporary, since the code is still there, just commented out.  Gerd does
not remember the details.

background: the reported misbehavior is that `C-u f' in rmail on
fencepost results in the MTA signalling error (it does not accept
"Resent-*" headers when using "-t").

  I'm sorry, but I don't remember a bit of this.  Maybe some on 
  emacs-devel remembers.
