RFC 822 is irrelevant since a message without a "From: " is not an RFC
822 message in the first place.

The question is how to transform a piece of random junk in unix mbox
format into something resembling an RFC 822 message. Using the
information in the `From ' message separator to generate a missing
`From:' and `Date:' header has worked fine for me when converting old
mbox.out files, and works fine for VM and many other mail agents.
And the right term is `message separator', the `From ' lines in an
mbox.out has nothing to do with sendmail envelope addresses.
