Your best bet is to use "mail -Eef" (edit headers, run editor, forward)
and then delete most of the headers mush supplies to use the headers of
the original message (which will be found below the "--- forwarded" line).
You can change the To: line to Originally-To: and so on at that time.

You could also use something like

    cmd SOF 'eval -h "my_hdr Originally-To: %t ; my_hdr Forwarded-From: %f"'
    cmd ROF 'un_hdr Originally-To: ; un_hdr Forwarded-From:'
    cmd SIS 'set old_str="$indent_str" indent_str=""'
    cmd RIS 'set indent_str="$old_str" ; unset old_str'

    cmd resend 'SOF; SIS; m -ei \!*; RIS; ROF'

But that only works for resending the current message, because SOF depends
on getting the To: and From: of the current message.  Oh, if you use the
pre_indent_str or post_indent_str variables, then SIS and RIS have to clean
those up, too ... mush needs perl's local() operator. ;-)
