It has been over 30 years since I have taken any math classes. The 
introduction sections were a bit difficult to follow. I would suggest 
simplification.

   ---------------------------------------------------------

How is:

  resent-field    = "Resent-" field-name ":" unstructured CRLF

  resent-date   ^ resent-field = "Resent-Date:" date-time CRLF

  resent-from   ^ resent-field = "Resent-From:" mailbox-list CRLF

  resent-sender ^ resent-field = "Resent-Sender:" mailbox CRLF

  ...

Simpler or more of an advantage than:

  resent-field  = resent-unstructured / resent-date / resent-from / 
resent-sender / ...

  resent-unstructured = "Resent-" field-name ":" unstructured CRLF

  resent-date         = "Resent-Date:" date-time CRLF

  resent-from         = "Resent-From:" mailbox-list CRLF

  resent-sender       = "Resent-Sender:" mailbox CRLF

  ...
