When you send email, it is sent in what is called an envelope which
consists of who the mail is from and too, these are seperate to but
normally derived from the From: & To: headers in the email.

For example:
Return-Path: <vicj@softhome.net>
Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore          for
Newsmaster@pwomar.demon.co.uk id 889515325:11:27012:0;          Tue, 10

Received: from charleston.softhome.net ([204.144.231.13])          by
punt-1.mail.demon.net  id aa1010796; 10 Mar 98 7:34 GMT
Received: from abc (201-95-85.ipt.aol.com [152.201.95.85])      by
charleston.SoftHome.net (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id AAA27296;    Tue, 10

Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19980309233508.007ab620@pop.SoftHome.net>
X-Sender: vicj@pop.SoftHome.net
X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.5 (32)
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 1998 23:35:08 -0800
To: clarvic@aol.com
From: vicj@SoftHome.net
Subject: 
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

The return path shows the envelope sender, in this case the same as the
From line, the to Line isn't me but the top recieved line shows the
envelope was addressed to Newstmaster@pwomar...
