That feature is not nice when misused, but it can be very usefull, too.
If i want to send a short (one line) message to somebody, i use that
sendmail program like this:

$ SENDMAIL/TO=OPER/ORIG=OPER/FROM="ERKKI The modem line is free now" NL:

And user OPER gets mail from user ERKKI whos personal name seems to be
"The modem line is free now" and OPER gets the message immediatelly
(except if he had SET TERM/NOBROADCAST)
