Huh? You've got me completely confused. DKIM should /never/ add Resent-* fields. I don't see how that is stated or implied. I can see how you might think that it has to include them in h= even if they didn't already exist, so I've added "if included" to the text. Resent-* may seem "quaint"

Resent-From: and Resent-Sender: would be signed only if present in the header. It's perfectly legit for a forwarding system to add them (and expected according to the specs), and if that forwarding server then signs the message, those headers MUST be treated in the same category as From: and Sender

I interpret this text differently. If the signer uses a signing address that matches (for example) Resent-From, and wishes the verifier to see that its role is as a resender, then it must sign Resent-From. But suppose someone resends a message to a mailing list, which itself signs. The list isn'
