My only thought is that via some msmtp options it should be possible to send NULL or literally arbitrary data for any/all elements [1] of the transaction, even if for no other reason than testing the behavior of your [own] SMTP server. Such as how the server mangles the mail you give it. Then this new default approach would not restrict that. Ex: Some servers will fill in an empty body From with either your envelope From, or its notion of your account From they have in say LDAP, yet if you supply a body From in the message, it will not make either such replacement. Some other servers will replace your body From with envelope or account From. A situation like that, possibly users in production may wish to send no body >From in order to let/continue the server float that field however it wants. >Such as perhaps following the account From the user sets in webmail. [1] Which may minimally include any envelope options (from, to, bcc, etc), any meta/received headers, body headers (from, to, date, subject, m-id, etc), and any message body content itself.
