Subject: Handling Resent-CC and -BCC in sendmail.el
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 22:51:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199512082151.WAA22197@tina.lysator.liu.se> (raw)

In GNU Emacs 19.30.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.4, X toolkit) of Tue Nov 28 1995 on tiny
configured using `configure  --prefix=/usr/gnu --with-x-toolkit'

When sending mail containing a "Resent-To: foobar" header, the
function sendmail-send-it sees that this is a forwarded mail, and
makes sure that sendmail is not called with -t, but instead finds the
addresses in the "Resent-To:" header and gives them to sendmail.

But it doesn't do anything with Resent-CC or Resent-BCC headers. They
are equally valid headers, although maybe less likely to appear. But
anyway, here is a patch that handles these cases, including removal of
any Resent-BCC headers before actual sending. I believe recent
versions of sendmail can take care of the last bit itself, but many
versions don't.

First a changelog entry

Fri Dec  8 22:44:15 1995  David K}gedal  <davidk@lysator.liu.se>

	* sendmail.el (sendmail-send-it): Added support for Resent-CC and
	Resent-BCC headers.
