Smail3.1, until recently, has not been able to From generate lines such
as this.  Either you have a modified version of smail3, or elm generated
the From line itself.  The former case is certainly possible, since
there were quite a few unofficial 3.1.19 variants that floated around.
However, even if you were running an unofficial variant, it is doubtful
that your config file could generate such a From line.  Most likely the
culprit is elm.  I suggest you check your elm compilation-time and run-
time configuration files.
