The From header is header by your mail delivery agent.  Assuming that
is sendmail or a sendmail clone, you would use the -f sendmail option.
This can be enabled by putting something like

   variable SendMail_Cmd 
     = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oem -odb -f foo@xxxxxxx"

in your .jedrc file.  The above assumes that sendmail is in /usr/sbin.

I do not see how without limiting flexibility.  For example, what is a
paragraph?  TeX and LaTex have one notion, email messages have
another, and so on.
