I am setting them to correct values: to my return address, so that
when I send mail via qmail's sendmail to other people, they get the
correct address.  But in this case, TMDA uses sendmail to deposit mail
into _my_ mailbox coming from other people.  QMAILUSER and friends
certainly were never intended for this purpose.  

More precisely: The problem is that when I press `r' while running
tmda-pending, the email is deposited in my mailbox not with the
original From: header, but with a changed one.  In particular, I
cannot reply to the email to the sender.  So: email comes in with

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

but after releasing it from tmda-pending, it comes to my mailbox with 

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is a broken behavior, because in this case (qmail's) sendmail
should not be run with in an environment set by me to send mail to
_other_ people.
