You might have inherited the <resend-message> thing from me. I thought I
used it exactly because "-H" insisted on rewriting the message-id, but
it doesn't seem to now. So either I've completely forgotten the reason,
or perhaps the behavior used to be different.

I also like that <resend-message> lets me open the whole mbox and send
each message within a single session. But I never run into the issue
you're mentioning because I write my cover letter separately as a normal
email, and then generate the actual patches as in-reply-to (with some
script magic to pull the message-id from my sent folder).

So possibly my fault for leading you in the wrong direction many years
ago, or your fault for not following my sage advice to the letter. ;)
