    I've thought I could add things like this to the header (MH makes it easy):
	    Resent-note: Joe, please get back to me about this
    But Dan Heller pointed out that "Resent-note" isn't anywhere in RFC822...
    he's right.  The Nutshell Handbook I wrote about MH mentions it, oops.

However, the "Comments:" header field is in RFC-822, and therefore
"Resent-Comments:" is the correct field to use in a redistributed
message.  Zmail has been using "Resent-Comments:" for years.
