HOSTNAME is set to $(hostname) on many systems so with the patch, the domain 
part would get lost -- not really useful.

I would also prefer adding a new option to the mail command rather than adding 
more special .quiltrc variables. How about the attached patch instead? You 
have convinced me that setting the envelope sender with -t by default is a 
good idea.
