Rather than guess, we should treat the absence of a From: header in an
outgoing message as a configuration error and abort the send. This
change makes the creation of a components file with a 'From:' header
mandatory; the code that initializes the Mail/ folder should probably be
extended to prompt for a default From address which is then used to
create a minimal components file.

That's probably the only actually correct solution.  Yes, it's not in any
way backward-combatable, but it's probably what we should be doing
going forward.

Jeff's point regarding a 2.0 release is probably moot - I think we got enough
in the pipe already that the next release will have to be a 2.0 anyhow. ;)
