A-ha!  There is indeed a mailer flag, F=n, that means "Don't add a
UNIX-style From header"  (what the sendmail people call that initial
"From " header).

(wrapper just passes stdin to stdout after checking various items
for security issues.  resend calls sendmail and does strip the
leading "Mail " header.  Which is why MD doesn't run into this
problem.  But remember, we're not talking about MD on this list.  :-)
