mail-do-fcc writes the From: header if it is present in the message
composition buffer.  What does `C-h v send-mail-function' say?

For sendmail-send-it, a From: header is inserted unless
mail-from-style is set to system-default.

For smtpmail-send-it, a From: header is inserted unless
mail-from-style is something other than angles, parens, or nil.

For feedmail-send-it, a From: header may be inserted depending on the
value of feedmail-from-line.

For post-mail-send-it, a From: header is not inserted.
