ELM leaves the From: line alone in this case, but many mail transports
will not allow you to specify a From: other than yourself.  It sounds
like your mail transport program is replacing the From: (sometimes they
leave the From: line alone but insert as Sender: header to indicate
the real user submitting the message).
