Sigh.  I hate to wade into this, but ... I understand where people are
coming from.  Current MUAs don't display the Sender: by default (and I
suspect other than nmh, most cannot), and essentially MUAs don't have
access to the SMTP envelope address in any standardized way.  So dumb
humans are assuming that the "From" header is actually meaningful.

Getting back to the ORIGINAL point ... I am assuming that we are fine with
the "don't modify the message" setting for this mailing list (other than
Michael Richardson, no one has voiced an objection).
