This is the one thing on which I disagree with Ned. It is perfectly 
reasonable to resend post-delivery. In that case, you'll have 
Resent-* fields prepended to the message which may already have a 
Return-Path. It will get a new Return-Path when it is delivered to 
the mailbox in the Resent-To, and that will be the MAIL FROM of the 
resender.

Maybe there's an argument for removing a Return-Path before 
prepending the Resent-* fields, but that's a different discussion.
