Okay, that's an interesting way to deal with it, thanks!

I've also thought about adding a header for the authenticated user, but
I don't want the actual usernames to be given away in emails that leave
the server. Perhaps add the header, save the message and then remove
the header and let it transit on.... if that is possible; a bit like bcc
is there, then it goes and doesn't end up being actually included in the
source of a delivered email.

Kind Regards
