Thanks! I will try this. However, I have also realized that internal
e-mails sent through Outlook do not have this Resent-From field in
the mail header. Is it possible to have .procmailrc not find the
Resent-From field and then proceed?

Do you want to match emails that don't have "Resent-From:.*user@xxxxxxxxxxx"
in them, but do come from Outlook.com?  Invert the match with "!":

:0
* !^Resent-From:.*user@xxxxxxxxxxx
* ^From.*user@xxxxxxxxxxx
$HOME/Mail/sent/.

See `man procmailrc` and examples in `man procmailex`.
