Does anybody know what the mail-sent-via command is good for?  It has
been in sendmail.el since revision 1.1, but I fail to see the purpose of
the non-standard Sent-via header.

Package: emacs21
Version: 21.2-1
Severity: normal

The rmail mode can send a "Sent-Via" header but it is not described in
any RFC, so it should be "X-Sent-Via". Why not using "Sender" ?

bug#1776: [Pierre THIERRY] Use of non-standard header without X- before

[Glenn Morris]

Version: 24.1

I don't think anyone knows what this is for. I removed it from the docs,
keymap, and menu, and marked the command obsolete.
