Unix Pine's "bounce" function is great for forwarding a message using
"Resent-" headers (which is what is needed here), but it won't allow
you to edit the message you are "bouncing".  Once again, you have to
edit the mail folder directly as a file using something like Emacs,
making the needed changes to the text of the message and being careful
to not screw up the headers in the process.  Then you go back in with
Pine and "bounce" the message.  Any of us who used to use the
forwarding function of VM/CMS MAIL knows the kludge factor in this.
