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. ;)
