One out of several differences: D doesn't include attachments.

My personal use case: I have a couple of mail accounts - this one for all my
normal private stuff, one gmail account mostly for sharing documents and so on.
If I get a mail with an attachment that I can't read in a terminal (typically
pdf) to my private account, I will bounce it to my gmail account. That 
preserves the whole message, and is different from both "D" (which I use
to re-send mail) and forward (which I use to forward interesting stuff to
other people).
