Small sites like uunet perhaps???  Fortunately that is exactly the case
there.  They will send your choice of From: uunet!domain!user or
user@domain. And they leave the To: lines pretty much the way the
sender wrote them.
Unfortunately it seems that not everyone knows how to rewrite the
uucp From_ line independently from the From: header line.
