Resent messages (Forward Messges)
Scene 1 : John sends a mail to Mary
----
From: John Doe
To: Mary Smith
Subject: Saying Hello
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
Message-ID: <1234@local.machine.example>
This is a message just to say hello.
So, "Hello".
----
Say that Mary, upon receiving this message, wishes to send a copy of
the message to Jane such that
(a) the message would appear to have come straight from John;
(b) if Jane replies to the message, the reply should go back to John; and
(c) all of the original information, like the date the message was originally sent to Mary,
the message identifier, and the original addressee, is preserved.
In this case, resent fields are prepended to the message:
Scene 2 : Mary resents(forwards) the mail to Jane
