RFC822 doesn't say anything about whether original headers should be
retained or not when resending. It only discusses adding more
information using the Resent-* mechanism.

The X-From-Line is the sendmail envelope "From " header. It makes as
much sense to retain this header as the Received headers, which
weren't in the original message either, but were also added by the
transport mechanism.
