Apparently people don't know what remail does.
Remail is a function that mm and mh have that preserves the to: and
from: lines, and adds resent-to:, resent-date:, and resent-from: lines.
A reply to the message uses the original header. Useful when
dispatching messages for others to handle, for example.
Below is an example of a remailed message header. The original
message arrived on a dec-20, mathom, was ftped to a unix system,
stout, and was remailed using Columbia MM from there to myself at my
normal mail recipient machine, dirt.

Also, my apologies to you all for two copies of my original request.
The original posting did not appear to have succeeded, so I used the
alternate mail method. Obviously, both succeeded.
thanx, doug
