Sorry, but our mailer's forwarding not only isn't unique, it's
rcf822 standard.  It's also the most commonly used mailer on bitnet.

What's maybe confusing is:

1) everyone on bitnet/arpa/milnet/edu/Janet etc. DID get the header
   identifying the message as "Resent-From: Larry Virden;"
   apparently only USENET got it without proper headers; what's "unique"
   (or at least not rcf822 standard) is the newslist's software's
   handling of resent headers (it ignored them and took the original
   "From:" - I suppose newslist doesn't recognize "Reply-to" or "Sender"
   either; probably programmed by the same person that writes mailer-
   daemons).

2) You posted your comment on Wednesday, but it didn't reach the
   Internet until Friday afternoon, and you didn't include any of the
   resent post in your message, soooo... I suspect INET subscribers
   are puzzled even more (especially since it was clear to them all
   along that I had passed along some comments you sent to me).
