SA intentionally not only pays attention to Resent headers, but if they are present it will IGNORE any other header of the same class. (ie: it will completely ignore To: if Resent-To: exists). This is a very intentional behavior, and you'd have to hack the code for all_from_addrs() and all_to_addrs() to change it. In most situations, you want to pay attention to the resent, as that also applies to messages that are redirected, such as spam reports, etc.
