    | formail -rt -I "From: jari(_dot_)aalto(_at_)poboxes(_dot_)com"

will do it; but the question is why do you want to do this?  If your goal is
to set a return address that differs from the sending address, it belongs in
Reply-To:, not in From:, like this:

    :0fh
    | formail -rt -I "Reply-To: jari(_dot_)aalto(_at_)poboxes(_dot_)com"

One possible reason is that unfortunately there are far too many
broken MUAs out there, even things like @hotmail.com don't honor a
Reply-To: header. :-(
