On the two systems (MacOS and Solaris) I happen
to have terminal sessions open to, `man mail`
does not describe any way to set the SMTP sender
address and hence the Return-Path header.

Of course, this CAN be done using sendmail instead of mail.

MacOS /usr/bin/mail (which seems to be close to
the BSD version, as the binary is riddled with
FreeBSD version control strings) does not do
that. Is it reasonable to deduce that you can
terminate the mail options with a '--' and then
add any sendmail args? What implementation of
mail is that?
