Maybe I should wait until somebody adds the tests to --envelope-sender
before pushing this patch.

You need to specify your mail address when setting the variable,
right? I use multiple email addresses, so that when I change it
($EMAIL or user.email) the right one will be used in the envelope. If
I use 'sendemail.envelopesender' I would
 need to change it as well.

Another option is to do something like 'sendemail.envelopesender=auto'.
