I think having envelope addresses in the mail headers is not what you
want since you would also see the Bcc: information etc?
I though the "From " is filled in by the outgoing mail daemon and filtered
again (together with the Bcc etc) at the other end? So using the "From "
line would be an abuse of the protocol? And defining another dedicated
header is the way to go? Like currently lots use: "Resent-Sender: " for that?
