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.
