Hmm... how does that differ from the --user option exactly?

Here is how the "From" logic is determined right now:

https://0xacab.org/monkeysphere/monkeysign/blob/2.x/monkeysign/ui.py#L343

Ie. either we take it straight from --user, or we use the first UID of
the chosen key.

This ensures we send an email with a From that matches the signing key.

That assumes we do *explicitely* not want to send email with a From that
matches the signing key.

That assumption may be incorrect. I'd love to hear the reasoning behind
it in that case.

Thanks, and sorry for the delay.
