It doesn't, that's what I said. Use Mail::Internet if you want to forge
the From header. If this is your desire, you're probably a spammer and
my level of support drops off right here. :)

I'm not sure I'd call it a wrapper any more than I'd call ANY perl
script that accesses the shell a wrapper. It opens a filehandle to the
mail process and prints accordingly.

No, Mail::Internet is more fine-grained. You provide the mail headers
you wish to sculpt your message with.

If you're comfortable with Perl, yes.
