I very much look forward to using 1.5, then! Yes, the version I'm using doesn't allow me to configure the "Sender:" field, which was the first thing I try. NMH gives me the following error message: whom: illegal header line -- Sender: I wasn't aware that it was NMH that adds in the Sender: field. I thought it was sendmail. In fact, my "fix" (as I mentioned in the other followup on this thread, and after a lot of googling) was to reconfigure sendmail to remap my local (illegal) address to "dnc2...@gmail.com" instead. Happily, I was able to do this without needing to reconfigure NMH (although I recognize that the sendmail "solution" is really a hack, and that the configurability you describe with the 1.5 version of NMH would by far be preferred).
