i tried that, because qmail-inject(8) seems to indicate that it should
work, but it did not.  the actual sender remained the one from
`user-mail-address' set in .emacs, which is the same as in the
environment variables $MAILUSER@$MAILHOST.  i carefully checked for
environment variables influencing qmail-inject.  these two are on the
lower end of qmails preference list, so that i could override them in
scripts.

the only thing left to do, short of running strace or a debugger, were
running qmail-inject with `-n', but i'd need to capture its output in
that case.  i don't know how to do this in a life environemnt, and i'm
not that interested in this problem to set `message-qmail-inject-
program' to a script just for testing.

some day somebody will find out :)
