Completely replacing 'From:' header...

I wanted to completely replace the From: header
so in my outgoing filter file, I added this:

to [email protected] tag
   from "Agent Maxwell Smart <[email protected]>"

But that resulted in 'mangled' From: headers, something like this:
   From: Robert P. Thille <Agent Maxwell Smart <[email protected]>>

So, I found this section of code:
>     # Create the custom headers.
>     custom_headers = [ h for h in actions.keys()
>                         if h not in ('from', 'envelope', 'resent-from') ]

And removed 'from' from the list of literals exempted from 'custom_headers'

I don't _think_ that breaks anything, as I can still use 'from dated=1w'
and that works, and now my above tag action to change the whole 'From'
header also works.

Can anyone see a reason to not make this change (at least locally, for
my install), or a better way to accomplish the same goal?

BTW, I'm running 1.1.8nb3 (NetBSD pkgsrc, I'm pretty sure the
base-version is 1.1.8)

Thanks,

Robert
