Nothing, but adding a Resent-from line causes filter
problems.  An example may be helpful.

I often receive mail intended for my wife.  I can
simply redirect those mails to her.  My forwarding
address appears in the Return-Path: and my actual
address appears in Received: - these are fine, I am
fully identified (the address in this mail is a
forwarding address - it forwards to my real ISP
address).

However it also adds me in a Resent-From: field.  That
is the field that causes improper filtering at her end.

A Pre-send filter would allow me to dump those header
records without needing to external SMTP filtering to
dump them.
