Yes, it is intentional.  Now, I suppose I could do a 'make_moderated_post'
on it, but it does seem silly since users should not be posting to
-repost, and admins could just forward a message to the list itself.  

It will send a note to the message sender saying 'no moderator cookie
found' to the message originator in this case.  Though, come to think of
it, I am not sure I remembered to honor Resent-From as the true sender in
the moderation code, so if you literally 'bounced' the message to repost,
the original guy might have gotten the note. :)

I'll take a look at that shortly, to make sure. :)
