If the resender wishes to indicate interest in the conversation, they
can do this in a number of ways, including adding themselves as a CC,
specifying a Reply-To header, or forwarding the message (ie,
encapsulating the original text in a new message with themselves in
the From header).

In my experience the most frequent users of Resent-* headers are not
human agents, but daemons. I see no good to come of automatically
adding their addresses to the reply-to list.
