Because you can't change it in any other major product, either.  This is
a client-side issue.  I can put whatever I want in it, no matter what
type of SMTP box I'm bouncing it off, as long as it's open for me to
relay through.  It's no different from the subject line or the to: line.
I can type 

rcpt to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
data
from: Ronald McDonald
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[bunch of text][cr].[cr] and it will go through just fine.  per rfc.
