	Resent-Message-ID is in RFC 822 as a reference field, and it is
a Good Thing - for example, I use procmail/formail to save 10KB of
Message-IDs, and drop duplicates.  The main use for this is in mailing
lists - like right now.  If you drop duplicates, you will see this once.
If you don't, you'll see it twice - once from me, and once from the
list. If you bounce a message to me, without alteration, I'd want it to
be dropped if I've already received it elsewhere.  Also, Resent-Sender
is also in the RFC as an originator field, although discouraged then it
matches Resent-From (which it would usually be in this case).
