[Nmh-workers] mhmail -from

Thinking about this some more:  -from is currently (1.5)
required by mhmail (actually, post).  mhmail is used in
scripts and by nmh internally to report errors, such as when
push fails.  So I think mhmail should support a default
-from using the user's local mailbox.  Any objection?
