I'd like to set my sender header to whatever my from header is.
I use qmail, so I needed this patch (against Oort 0.04):

I guess my response to Faried accidentally went off-list.  This patch
is actually not necessary for the desired functionality.  (If there is
a Return-Path field, qmail-inject will set the envelope sender
according to it and delete it.  Return-Path can be set via posting
styles, etc.)  Maybe this patch is useful for somebody else anyway,
though.

The only time I have found that setting the Sender to be necessary is
when sending commands to a listserv subscription routine.  No matter
what the From: said, it would always reply to the Sender: and use that
address for taking action on.

It didn't make any sense to me and I argued about it at work a bit but
the easiest way was to just set my Sender: manually
