I am trying to use mh-e to redistribute messages.  mh-e adds a line:

Resent-To: Chet-Test

when I tell it to redistribute to Chet-Test.

(I have "Chet-Test: murthy" in my Aliases file)

It then invokes "send" as follows:

mhdist=1
mhaltmsg=/usr/u/murthy/Mail/drafts/10
/usr/local/mh/send -push /usr/u/murthy/Mail/drafts/10

where drafts/10 is the message number in the draft folder.

Now comes the weird part.  "send" DOES NOT do alias expansion on
"Resent-To" fields.  Neither does "whom".  Even when I specify
"-alias /usr/u/murthy/Mail/Aliases", or "-alias Aliases", and even
though my .mh_profile has "send: -alias Aliases" in it.

As a result, the recipient isn't aliased to "murthy", and when
sendmail gets it, it barfs it back to me.

Anybody got ANY ideas why this is going on?
