I'll try to simulate this manually sometime this weekend or Monday to
reproduce what you're seeing.

So you'd want something like:

Right, but that documentation doesn't mention the sender selection

That stuff is pulled from the development head. There were reasons for
doing this but I imagine they weren't very good ones because I've since
