If I want to keep a clean copy I usually just dup the message
first--- "s~/INBOX" or some such.  Or I just use vm-forward-message.
Between vm-resend-message, vm-forward-message, and vm-send-digest
there should be a workable forwarding option for everyone.

This is how the command works in Elm.  Now obviously I don't
revere Elm other all other mailers, but its point 'n' shoot
solution to resending messages is a good one.  I want to keep it
simple.
