That GGG does this is one reason I haven't considered using it. It
breaks all sorts of E-Mail workflow assumptions from polluting the
address book for every person who uses it, to any "from:<addr>" search
needing special consideration etc.

Of course you'd need authentication etc, but is there a reason for why
such tooling can't work more like an SMTP relay and less like GGG which
(for some reason) insists on taking over the "From" header?

I think in its case it's because it wanted to mirror all the discussion
to GitHub. But presumably a ML-native tool won't have that problem (and
presumably GGG could do the same mirroring by following the ML after
submission).
