Yes, but I think from looking at the code that it feeds the sender
address to -f if it is different from the from: field (which I guess,
is what triggers the sender in the first place).
I tested this yesterday, and
(setq message-sendmail-f-is-evil t)
got rid of the X-Authentication-Warning: header that sendmail puts in,
but it didn't change the envelope header.
However
(setq message-syntax-checks '((sender . disabled)))
fixed that bit for me (I'll change this to add-to-list as Karl
Kleinpaste suffested).
So now I'm happy! :-)
