I often pipe the message to sendmail, using emacs's
notmuch-show-pipe-message command (bound to '|' by default).  However I
agree it would be much nicer to be able to edit the headers slightly, so
as to add headers like Resent-To.

On a related note, another feature I really miss is the ability to edit
and re-send a bounced message.  (I realize this could be problematic for
notmuch, in that you really want to re-send it with the same
message-ID.)
