Well, that did the trick.  However, that line shouldn't be necessary.
I still feel that if emacs is using the system MTA, which as you point
out is sendmail, which is actually a link to qmail/bin/sendmail, then
sendmail should do the right things to put in the correct From: and
Return-Path: lines.  I haven't customized emacs at all.  This
work-around is fine, but I really think I'm missing some part of the
configuration.

Also, there should be some kind of functioning executable in
/bin/mail.  I just don't know what to put there on this system.

Maybe I should have gotten Correl Linux, which comes with qmail
instead of rotten old sendmail.
