My suggestion in the case of "Resent-" is simply to discourage all use of "Resent-" in the future. MIME provides a much more robust way of handling resending through embedding in body parts of the "Content-Type: Message", so "Resent-" is not needed any more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jacob Palme (Stockholm University and KTH) for more info see URL: http://www.dsv.su.se/~jpalme
