Netmail requires a from-address.

Nice try.  :-)  I've never seen netmail implemented so that the user
doesn't have access to the information in the INTL line, whether it be by a
text line inserted in the body of the message in the case of QWK etc.  If
you do know of a counter-example, it sure ain't common practice.  BFN.
