--envelope-from is IMHO confusingly similar to
--envelope-sender. Maybe --use-from-in-envelope would be a better name?

Ok. I don't have any opinion on the name.

I thought a bit more about this, and in the end what we really want is
to add the sender envelope. The most typical case would be to use the
'from' address, but we should be able to override it (we do both by
using --envelope-sender).

So here are other options.

a) --add-envelope: add the sender envelope, by default it would be the
'from' address, but could be overridden by --envelope-sender.

b) --envelope-sender="" or "auto": this would require minimal changes
but looks a bit strange.

Any thoughts?
