"forwarding", not so much "resending"

I could see Transaction->AsMIMEEntity. _but_, do you want to regenerate
the mail as it was sent out by RT exactly? If so, you need to take
templates into account.   And also, maybe it would be easier to use RT
3.2's recorded outgoing mail as the source... and just add a "resend"
method for that.

I could see maybe putting that in Transactions_Overlay.pm _maybe_. I
could also see it as a Template
