Hmmm.  Interesting idea, but there's no guarantee that the
recipient will see the header or even know to look for it.
Comments and Resent-Comments are allowed by RFC 822, but I
think the use of either is widespread.

I usually put any comments I have at the top of the message, in
brackets, before resending it.  Or I use vm-forward-message and
put my comments in the digest preamble.

Other opinions?
