    If you want to edit the message and Cc the original recipents, then 
    rmail-reply, adding the extra recipients to the To or Cc would be more 
    appropriate.

Using reply would be totally inconvenient, since the point is to send the
same message.

    Resend should be limited to non-edited messages only - if the message is 
    edited, then it comes from you, not the original sender.

All else being equal, I agree; but it is hard to let people
edit the headers without also letting them edit the rest.
