Hmm, spool_mbox didn't add a Received: header, only the two mentioned
X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To:. But AFAICT and accordingly to
anyone else, it isn't possible to add the X-Envelope-From as you tried
to do it, as the needed information isn't there at this moment, unless
we add the recipient-list. :)
