So: The RFC says SHOULD, so Message shouldn't have an easy way to generate >From headers that deviate from the `angles' style. So I propose to remove the code that reacts to `message-from-style' (i.e., always generate `angles' From headers), and mark `message-from-style' as obsolete and note in the doc string that it's no longer used.
