The reason is probably that -d accepts an optional argument, and
therefore --read-envelope-from is misinterpreted as the argument to -d.

You should not use -d in your php.ini anyway; it is strictly for
debugging and may cause problems. While you're at it, you can remove -i
too; it has no effect with msmtp.

There is no short form of --read-envelope-from because msmtp must
remain command line compatible with sendmail. There is no config file
command equivalent because the main purpose of the option is to make
msmtp choose an account based on the From header.
