On the other hand, if you forward the message (complete with full
headers), as an attachment, and then extract that attachment at the
other end, you should be able to use that. (IE use the new message
as a 'carrier' for the one that you want to re-learn).
There is a MIME-type "Message/RFC822" which is intended precisely
for this kind of job.
This does depend upon the sending mail client being able to generate a
proper MIME attachment forward. You should be able to use a tool
like metamail to automate the extraction at the receiving end.
