Yes, but that's a layering issue - you really *don't* want to have to poke around in the 822 headers to find a 821-style return address (especially since if you *do* that sort of grovelling, you will almost certainly Do The Wrong Thing if you ever get a bounce with an 822-From *other* than Mailer-Daemon).
