This is a feature, not a bug. Elm is a user agent, not a transport agent. As such, it insulates the user from all those crufty things like headers, etc. Rn needs a more primitive ua (like /bin/mail) or to talk directly to the transport agent. After all, if rn is generating all the headers/etc for you, why do you want elm?
