A better reason for editing the from field, is that the message may be "from" more than one person. For example, a friend and I write a neat hack and we send out a piece of mail describing it and make it from both of us. (It is true though, that only one process is the "sender" and an explicit sender: field seems appropriate when the from field has been hacked by the user.) -- Jon
