That doesn't make sense. The "From " and "Return-Path" are the same
thing just in different guises, it is the envelope sender information
(which is what's specified with -f).
In mbox folder format, the return-path (evenlope sender) is recorded
in the "From " header (it's not really a header, actually, more as just
the message separator). Some MTAs will also include the value in a
Return-Path header.
However, while the mail is in transit (after it has been sent but before
it has been processed by recipient) the envelope sender is in fact not
specified in the headers, it travels "outside" of the actual mail
message data.
