My reading of the RFC was that, if any Resent- headers exist, you should
use them, and only them. That's what Exim does. If there are Resent-
headers it doesn't look at any non-resent headers. Let me see if I can
quickly find the quote:

     Note:  In general, the "Resent-" fields should be treated as con-
            taining  a  set  of information that is independent of the
            set of original fields.  Information for  one  set  should
            not  automatically be taken from the other.  The interpre-
            tation of multiple "Resent-" fields, of the same type,  is
            undefined.


I doubt very much whether there is any consensus about this.
