Basically the same way as now: It passes the envelope sender to sendmail
with '-f' on the command line.

If `message-sendmail-envelope-from' is nil (the default), nothing should
have changed -- it'll use `message-make-address' in the envelope.

I don't see how `message-sendmail-envelope-from' could make anything
different with the default setting.  But you could try this patch and
see if it changes anything:

Hmm, maybe your sendmail just doesn't like the '-f' option -- the
comment in message.el suggests that this is sometimes the case:

;; Always specify who from,
;; since some systems have broken sendmails.
;; But some systems are more broken with -f, so

Does '-f' work if you use sendmail from the command line?
