Assunto: [Exim] -t and Resent- header lines
The -t documentation in the Exim documentation states:

    If there are any "Resent-" headers in the message, an error is
    generated, and Exim gives up. RFC 2822 talks about different sets
    of "Resent-" headers (when a message is resent several times), and
    it is not at all clear how -t should operate in this situation.
    Experiments with Sendmail have shown that it amalgamates multiple
    sets of "Resent-" headers when -t is used.  This does not seem to
    be in the spirit of RFC 2822.


I have now been informed by no less an authority than RMS that emacs
expects an MTA to "handle" Resent- header lines. Does anybody have any
views on some kind of reasonable specification? Note that a message that
starts off

Resent-From: xxxx
Resent-To: xxxx
Resent-To: xxxx
Resent-To: xxxx
Resent-From: xxxx

is ambiguous as to which "to"s belong to which "from". I don't want to
have to add artificial intelligence to Exim to try to sort out this kind
of problem.
