If John Doe > sends a message to you, and you resend it to me, and I do "reply to > all", it seems clear that my reply should by default go to you. 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.
