But if you use the MTA (sendmail in this case, and in many cases) to create an envelope header that's gonna be different from a message's "From:" header, (by doing 'sendmail -f'), then it (the MTA) has to at least touch the envelope header. Which still makes setting what goes into that header essentially "MTA stuff," I'd think, even though in most other respects (the "received" headers excepted) it's correct to say that headers are indeed part of the message body so far as the MTA is concerned.
