"Return-Path" means envelope sender (a.k.a. "UNIX From") which will
be alternative to sender of messages without "From" field.
"Resent-From" may also be inserted before "From", because some
mailers add it into redirected messages and keep original "From"
field intact. In particular cases, "Return-Path" can not give
right sender: several mail gateway products rewrite envelope sender
and add original one as non-standard field such as "X-Envelope-
From". If that is the case, you might want to insert it in place
of "Return-Path".
