It breaks checks on envelope sender which were very rare at the time of
emacs19 but are more often now. Worse, it makes usage of gnus
inconsistent depending on whether you use SMTP or sendmail to send a
mail and on whether you use emacs's gnus or gnus from separate gnus
package (the latter has no this patch). I discovered the Debian patch
when I encountered a check of envelope sender and From: for consistency
at a server which already received several my letters when I just sent a
mail from my etch machine where I use emacs-snapshot with its embedded
gnus. On the "successful" machine I use emacs21 with external gnus.
Both my and system _configuration_ are the same on both machines.
