I use nmh's dist(1) command to distribute it, using Resent-From,
Resent-To, etc., headers. (IIRC this is similar to mutt's "bounce"
command.)
Postfix complains of a "mail forwarding loop" by return.

AIUI this is because the original email's Delivered-To header is in the
resent email with the same email address as the new email's destination.
Does an RFC cover Delivered-To? If not, what's the closest to a
specification?
Resending the email to myself at the same email address is legitimate
and used to work in years past. What does Postfix think an MUA should
do in this circumstance? Remove the Delivered-To header whenever
resending?
Any other advice Postfix can offer this MUA?

Cheers, Ralph.
