It would be a serious improvment for SPF if there were a simple way to

it is trivial and works perfectly, without any cooperation from the
domains I use (no need to set up anything on port 587).

Any Windows guru around to find a way?

Not only does Outlook not do this, but when M$ implements their version
of SenderID that uses SPF records in lieu of SenderID records, 
anyone who wishes to send mail to a M$ user from an SPF only domain
will be forced to make the MAIL FROM and PRA identities the same.  I think the
PRA algorithm will let you set a Sender which becomes the PRA instead of From -
hopefully the new SID version of Outlook will let you set that independently.
