[MlMt] From "XXX via mailmate"

[Antonio Leding]

OK - thanks for clarifying.  I thought the “XXX” was something 
specific to MailMate that was new.  I checked all of the MM related 
messages I have and I see the same thing; some have the “via 
mailmate” and others don’t.  I always figured it was due to the 
sending host config or maybe an intermediate mail server action…

As to why it “matters” to me - two reasons really: **(a)** as you 
mentioned, curiosity; and **(b)** more technically, to understand if 
there any issues with having “via mailmate” in the from field?
