The hyphen does have a bit of value, as I was explaining to a coworker a couple of weeks ago.
I told him that when he is indicating that he has sent a particular email a second time, he should say "I re-sent it" rather than "I resent it". The first is accurate. The second will get you called into the boss's office.
It took a great deal of time to make him understand. I resent him.

Actually, you don't have to press 1 for English.. just wait a second or two and English will be spoken. Callers have the opportunity to press 1 to skip the next message, an invitation in Spanish to press 2. It's a neat way to offer bilingual service.
