I don't know if you can do this with Elm, but internet emails have no
restrictions (technologically or in the RFCs) on what you can put in the
From/To/etc fields. This information isn't actually used by the MTAs to
deliver mail.

Yep, this is exactly how spam is sent. That's how you can get an email
with a To: field of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but still have it
magically delivered to your mailbox.
Furthermore, all of this is extremely easy to do given about 45 minutes
of study time with the appropriate RFCs (SMTP in particular).
