--- Begin Message ---Package: bugs.debian.org As per RFC 5322 §3.6.6, the Resent-From: header field should be set to the user who has “reintroduced [the message] into the transport system”: --cut: urn:ietf:rfc:5322 -- Resent fields are used to identify a message as having been reintroduced into the transport system by a user. […] […] The resent originator fields indicate the mailbox of the person(s) or system(s) that resent the message.

On the contrary, the > service duplicates From: as Resent-From: instead, like: Duplicating the Resent-From: is correct, because that's the user on whose behalf the system is forwarding the mail. The BTS also sets Resent-Sender to itself. Specifically: The resent originator fields indicate the mailbox of the person(s) or system(s) that resent the message. As with the regular originator fields, there are two forms: a simple "Resent-From:" form, which contains the mailbox of the individual doing the resending, and the more complex form, when one individual (identified in the "Resent- Sender:" field) resends a message on behalf of one or more others (identified in the "Resent-From:" field). We are doing the more complex form.
