I hadn't thought of that, but I can see that it might be useful in
certain circumstances: when an outgoing msg bounces and I want to
resend it, I find it a bit tedious to have to locate the outgoing
message in the appropriate folder and use forward or reply to send it
to the correct address, editing out all the '> ' quotation marks.
However, I can't think of any occasion when I've had to resend mail
for any reason other than my failure to address it properly, so even
the utility to make the .wrk files would still involve a fair bit of
work. How about incorporating it in a bigger utility that searched
the zip files, and prompted for a revised To: line, before re-queueing
the message?
I know that's a lot of programming, but for me it wouldn't be much
use to have the .wrk file generated w/o the other bits: still lots of
handwork, whereas it wld be great to be able to say 'resend 8509' and
just respond to a few prompts.
