Nothing in the envelope will alter what appears in the header. However you
may see the envelope address in the routing prepended before the header,
such as:
Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for errors@siberia.demon.co.uk
id 820729949:27913:1; Thu, 04 Jan 96 04:32:29 GMT
or something similar. And if your smtp server keeps a log, the address
will appear there also. If you subscribe to any mail lists, you will see
that the correctly delivered mail make no mention of you in the header.
