I don;t think he means that, and you can see what you refer to, viz:

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Wed Jan  2

I think he means the "MAIL FROM" that is part of the SMTP dialog that
goes on between MTA's.

As in...

cliff@tanya:~> telnet localhost 25

Well, since it is not part of the message, I guess you cannot.
