When I re-send (forward) mail, I use the MH "dist" command that adds RFC822
addressing info like "Resent-to: xxx".  It routes the message to the new
recipient without adding a completely separate header.  That's really handy.

I've thought I could add things like this to the header (MH makes it easy):
	Resent-note: Joe, please get back to me about this
But Dan Heller pointed out that "Resent-note" isn't anywhere in RFC822...
he's right.  The Nutshell Handbook I wrote about MH mentions it, oops.

How did Resent-note get started?  (I probably got the idea off USENET years
ago and never checked it in RFC822.)  Is it quasi-legal anywhere?  Thanks.
