because it should be self-evident
that mutt will not send with an
identification other than the one
it adds itself.  that's why.

you can complain to the developers
for not documenting their code
enough on this point, of course.

That does not work with x-mailer sven. Why didn't you test the header in
question?

I assume that if you do no specifically "unignore" X-* lines
then they will be weeded out.

let's test this:

  $ mutt -f mutt.testmail
  :unignore x-
  

bingo - X-Test: line *included*! :-)

I seem to recall a previous discussion on this topic. Please grep the
archives for further details.
To summarize: Mutt will delete any X-Mailer header.

Not to be difficult, but to quote the on-line manual:

'With resend-message, mutt takes the current message as a template for
  a new message.  This function is best described as "recall from
  arbitrary folders".  It can conveniently be used to forward MIME
  messages while preserving the original mail structure. Note that the
  amount of headers included here depends on the value of the ``$weed''
  variable.'

What does the last sentence mean?  As the original message had an
X-Mailer header included, I took the manual to mean that it would be
picked up in the new message.

resending takes the message as is.
no hooks or whatever get applied.
feature. period.
