The work is not finished yet, and I currently don't have the time to
do this myself.

I have put Emanuele's path here:
http://www.marlam.de/msmtp.diff

Maybe someone is interested to work on this?

Some suggestions: 

I like the additional 'int flags' argument to msmtp_read_recipients(). The
function should probably be renamed to msmtp_read_addresses() or similar.

The FLAG_TMP flag is probably wrong, because we always have to store the
headers in a temporary file if we read addresses from them.

We could modify the --auto-from option and auto_from command to accept a
new value 'header' and retain backward compability:

auto_from = off:
No automatic envelope from address.
auto_from = on | user:
Create envelope from address from the user name and possilby the
maildomain command.
auto_from = header:
Read the envelope from address from the From: header.
