Ah, but the envelope is NOT what should be used if it reflects the
re-sender, "mailmod".  Also, there is NO way in RFC 822 to avoid
ReSent-From or ReSent-Sender, although there may be tricky ways to
bypass the automatic additions of these components by the posting
agent -- something I'd prefer to avoid, but not completely unwilling
to try if necessary.

Cooking up a Reply-To component sounds not unreasonable.  Anybody know
if Reply-To (or to whatever X.400 component it gets mapped) takes
precedence?
