Not as far as I know. I'm talking about plain old talking to an SMTP
server. smtpmail-via-smtp (abbreviated) does this:
(smtpmail-send-command "MAIL FROM:" envelope-from ...)
Currently envelope-from defaults to user-mail-address, which may bear no
relation to the From: header, which I argue is what the majority will
want to use. This is particularly likely to cause problems if you have
multiple email accounts, since there is only one value of
user-mail-address, which cannot be right for all of them. But I find it
hard to think of any case where you want to sent to MAIL FROM != From:.
They might exist, but should not be the default.
