4.2. FORWARDING
Some systems permit mail recipients to forward a message,
retaining the original headers, by adding some new fields. This
standard supports such a service, through the "Resent-" prefix to
field names.
Whenever the string "Resent-" begins a field name, the field
has the same semantics as a field whose name does not have the
prefix. However, the message is assumed to have been forwarded
by an original recipient who attached the "Resent-" field. This
new field is treated as being more recent than the equivalent,
original field. For example, the "Resent-From", indicates the
person that forwarded the message, whereas the "From" field indi-
cates the original author.
Use of such precedence information depends upon partici-
pants' communication needs. For example, this standard does not
dictate when a "Resent-From:" address should receive replies, in
lieu of sending them to the "From:" address.
Note: In general, the "Resent-" fields should be treated as con-
taining a set of information that is independent of the
set of original fields. Information for one set should
not automatically be taken from the other. The interpre-
tation of multiple "Resent-" fields, of the same type, is
undefined.
In the remainder of this specification, occurrence of legal
"Resent-" fields are treated identically with the occurrence of
fields whose names do not contain this prefix.
