OK. This is a complete mess. You and Tony, and no doubt others, see this
as two sets of Resent- headers. Greg would argue otherwise, I think. All
Exim is saying is "There are resent- headers in this message, but no
resent-date, so I'd better add one."
I do not want to have to implement a whole pile of dodgy heuristic logic
to try to do "better" in cases like this. I am prepared to do the
following:
(1) Turn off the code that tries to fix up headers when Resent- headers
are present.
(2) Ditto, but only if there are non-contiguous Resent- headers.
I would far prefer (1).
It occurs to me that it might also be helpful, when Exim *does* add
header lines, to also add, for example,
X-Date-Added-By: $primary_hostname
