A couple of tweaks. With formail (only 28k!), sed isn't needed. Just use
the '-x' (lower case) flag instead of '-X' (upper case).

And I am happier with '-rt' instead of '-r' (explained below).
For the new version of 'msmtp-enqueue-pine.sh':

## ################################
## BEGIN CHANGES (PINE) TO ORIGINAL msmtp-enqueue.sh:
##
##
## Replace 2 lines:
#echo "$@" > "$MSMTPFILE" || exit 1
#cat > "$MAILFILE" || exit 1
## with
tee "$MAILFILE" |\
echo "$@ -f `formail -rt -x To: `" > "$MSMTPFILE" || exit 1
##
## Which writes the mail to $MAILFILE as before
##  and the command line to $MSMTPFILE but now appending '-f sender'
## Note: 'formail -rt' picks the "trusted sender" -- the 'Reply-To:'
##  if it exists, in preference over the 'From:'
##  Use simple 'formail -r' if you're happy with the 'From:' 
##
## END CHANGES (PINE)
