In Revision 5.0.1.6 of core-niftp it IS possible to make the required
alteration (ie add argument -oi to sendmail's invocation) in /etc/niftptailor.

Instead of amending the source of conf.c to:
|	struct mailfmt mailfmt[CONF_MAX] = {
|	............
|	{ "sendmail", "%s -t", "%s -ba -oi -oMs%s", ADD_TO|ADD_SUBJ|ADD_BLANK},
|	............
|	}

add entries:
MAILPROG	/usr/lib/sendmail
MAILFMT		sendmail, "%s -t", "%s -ba -oi -oMs%s", 7

to /etc/niftptailor.   The MAILFMT line replaces the format used when
sendmail is the mailer.
7 is the bitmap corresponding to ADD_TO|ADD_SUBJ|ADD_BLANK.

(Piete Brooks mentions this in file README.mail with Rev 5.0.1.6).
