You say that like it's a bad thing! :-)

Hm.  You know, I like this (and it seems that there is widespread agreement
that Sender: should always override From:).

There is one wrinkle: Right now Envelope-From: can be blank; if you
do that, then you will get a MAIL FROM:<>, which is useful if you
don't want any bounces at all.  Sounds like the logic should be if
you have multiple From: addresses then Envelope-From: cannot be
blank.  Actually, now that I think about it I might have written the
code that Sender can be blank, so I should fix that :-)
