So I think the way to go about doing this is to rewrite the argument handling
in main.c to use getopt() so that adding another flag doesn't involve major
spaghetti code. Other than that, should be a piece of cake to add the from
address to the return_path list that is already passed to insert_message().

I'd love to do this but I barely have enough time for the pipe.c updates.
