Rewrite From in header

Hi,

I'd love msmtp to be used to send mails from my system. In particular,
Anacron writes the header of the mail as:
From: Anacron <root>

The envelope is well rewritten, but not the header. Can msmtp do that?

Thanks in advance,
-Eduardo

No; one of the principles of msmtp is to never touch the mail content.
But you could use a small wrapper around msmtp that uses e.g. formail
(from the procmail package) to rewrite your headers.

Unfortunate.  It would be really nice to add msmtp/version to the
User-Agent header.
