    Resent-To: shouldn't be set in such a case; that's forwarding, and
    should end up with entirely new From/To headers.

You seem to assume a distinction between "forwarding" and "resending".
Would you please explain it?

    Resent-To: fields are only there to indicate when a message has been
    reinserted into the mail delivery chain by someone.

When you resend John Doe's message to me, doesn't that mean it has
been "reinserted into the mail delivery chain" by you?  I seems that
way to me.
