So you're suggesting that when I want to resend a message to someone, I first
edit the message, and then resend it?  I don't like that very much because it
means I'm editing *my* copy of the message as well as annotating the copy I'm
going to send someone.  I don't want my original copy of the message altered
just because I'm shipping it elsewhere.  Making "resend" leave you in a send-
mail buffer really seems like the rational thing to do; it's also a more 
consistent interface.  The first time I used "resend" I was very surprised
that it just sent it off without any further confirmation; no other VM mail-
sending command does that.
