Yes, but the problem seems to be insurmountable, as I _think_ it is to prevent spammers from successfully sending "from abitrary email addresses".
GMail adds an `X-Google-Original-From:` header with the original `From:` header, and drops the `Sender:` header.
There _might_ be other SMTP servers out there that might allow us to do this for GitGitGadget, but I am wary of undermining anti-spam measures that way.
