Maybe not all UNIX MTAs know about Resent-* headers, but _most_ in fact
do know about them and a very good number provide commands to use them
too. They've only been part of RFC-822 since the very beginning.
The only still commonly used UNIX MTA I know of that does not do
anything special with resent-* headers (though it doesn't hide them
either) is UCB Mail (aka mailx). I've got patches somewhere that mostly
implement the interesting bits though and I guess I could clean them up
and post them.... :-)
