I thought a bit more about this, and in the end what we really want is to add the sender envelope. The most typical case would be to use the 'from' address, but we should be able to override it (we do both by using --envelope-sender).

So here are other options.

a) --add-envelope: add the sender envelope, by default it would be the 'from' address, but could be overridden by --envelope-sender.

b) --envelope-sender="" or "auto": this would require minimal changes but looks a bit strange.

Any thoughts?
