I must admit I'm confused by Wayne's suggestion below.  Pegasus mail does
indeed generate Resent headers, if you don't edit the message.  What we
need to do is forward the message, using resent headers, BUT edit the
outgoing message.  As far as I can tell, if I turn off the "edit" in the
advanced options in Pegasus, I can't edit the outgoing message. Send=
Editor, Hold is equally useless, since that means you can't edit either.
 
Is there a trick to Pegasus I don't know?  I downloaded the most
recent version, and looked over the help carefully.  I can't seem
to get it to generate Resent headers on edited messages, though
I'd be glad to find out it's possible.
 
We edit 90% of outgoing messages, as my subscribers will not sign
them or cut down the requoted material from previous messages
themselves.  A lot of them also use offline mailers with long
line lengths that wrap weirdly and make their messages look terrible
(we fix those too).  On top of it, we have high volume daily,
so we need a fast, fairly easy mail program (other than Ricemail)
that will generate Resent headers AND allow editing on the
same message.
 
If there is a setting in Pegasus mail that I missed, I'd be glad to try
it.  I just ran through all the tests I could think of again on my
version, and they all failed again.
 
Thanks for your help,
Vickie Banks
