True. I suppose there's no reliable method of determining which resent-*
headers you'd use. Given that, it's probably best to ignore them completely.

But I do see Greg's point. If I e-mail something to my buddy, and he resends
it to someone else without my knowledge, I'm not sure that *I* should be
getting this third party's vacation message. But I guess it could be argued
that my buddy should be forwarding such messages, not resending them.
