I am struggling a bit with terminology here. There is the "regular"
RFC822 email From: header. I will call that From-header. Then there is
the mbox start-of-message From line. I will call that From-mbox.
If I use formail to change various email headers other than the
From-Header, formail creates a From-mbox line that shows the sender as
what is in the existing From-Header.
If I user formail to -I replace the From-Header, formail creates a
From-mbox line where the sender is foo@bar.
Strange behavior. Now I have not tested all possible combinations of
formail options, but -I From: ... causes this odd behavior.
I has become a mute point, as when I pipe the output of formail into
procmail -d .... , procmail 'fixes' the From-mbox line.
But formail should not be getting it wrong in the first place to need
procmail to correct it.

That initial "From " line (or is it " From "?)
is not part of the email-header,
but is rather a 'system solution'
to represent part of the envelope details.
